Intention-to-treat analyses, missing values for children who did not finish the 8.3-year visit were imputed using expectation maximization algorithm. Per-protocol analyses, excluding participants who did not finish the 8.3-year visit.

*

Data shown are Means (SE).

Adjusted for maternal information (age, gestational age, education, smoking status, alcohol drinking status, pre-pregnancy BMI, weight gain during pregnancy, and BMI), and children’s information (age, sex, birth weight, outdoor time, screening watching time, sleeping duration, dietary energy intake, dietary fiber intake and energy intake from fat) at the baseline (5.9-year) visit.

Also adjusted for the corresponding adiposity indicators at the baseline visit in the analyses at the 8.3-year visit or changes from the 5.9-year to 8.3-year visit.
