Note: Linear or multinomial regression models, fitted using generalized estimating equations with a random effect for cohort, were used to estimate βs or ORs, respectively, and their corresponding 95% CIs and p-values. Regression models were adjusted for maternal race/ethnicity, maternal age at delivery, maternal education, maternal marital status, maternal prepregnancy BMI, maternal smoking during pregnancy, parity, child’s sex, and sample collection season and year.
