^ Crude ORs are unadjusted for covariates or offspring born to the same mother or father

* ORs are unadjusted for covariates, but adjusted for offspring born to the same mother or father

** AORs are adjusted for covariates (Model 1 adjusted for year of offspring's birth; Models 2 and 3 adjusted for year of offspring's birth and paternal BMI as low and normal vs. high) and adjusted for offspring born to the same mother or father
