ALSPAC children are offspring of the participants included in the adult study (Table 1), and data are shown at five available ages. NFBC1966 children are the same participants as those in the adult study (Table 1).

ALSPAC birth data are for the same participants as those in the children study. NFBC1966 birth data are for the same participants as those in the children and adult studies. Non-singleton births and individuals born at gestation <36 weeks were excluded from the birth-weight analysis.
