Parameters. (i) Forced: Birth weight, infant age at 1 year visit, infant sex, infant ethnicity (Caucasian versus non-Caucasian), family history of diabetes; (ii) forward stepwise method: socioeconomic status, maternal prepregnancy BMI, Maternal log ISOGTT, maternal GDM status during pregnancy (yes/no), maternal pregravid work index, maternal pregravid vigorous/sport index, maternal pre-gravid leisure index, exclusive breastfeeding duration, age of introduction to formula (at birth, before 6 months, after 6 months, never), age of introduction to cereal, and daily screen time.

GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus; ISOGTT: oral glucose tolerance testing for assessment of insulin sensitivity.
