^*OR represents the increase in odds of behavioural problems per 100g increase in weekly sugar consumption (non-milk extrinsic sugar intake)

^**Adjusted for SDQ total difficulties or sub-scale score at age 4½ yrs, sex of child, maternal smoking, maternal age at birth of child, number of siblings, socio-economic markers, birth weight and gestational age, maternal depression and anxiety, maternal enjoyment score, and single parent household.
