Footnotes:

aBMI SDS was estimated from the adjusted model presented in Table 4 for the age range of the children during follow-up by categories of DDE. The predictions were done for boys with referent values in the variables included in the model (i.e. boys of non-smoking mothers, with >12 years of education, with pre-pregnancy BMI of 18.6 - <25.0, recruited at the Social Security hospital, from the urban area, and with median gestational age at birth (40 wk)). Predicted values and corresponding standard errors at selected ages during follow-up are presented in Table 3a of the supplementary material. Reference line at 15.7 months reflects the differences estimated with the main effect terms from the adjusted model in Table 4.
