BMI, body mass index; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; IMCL, intramyocellular accumulation of lipids.

Model 1: adjusted for gestational age, current child age, sex, race, Tanner stage.

Model 2: Model 1 + maternal pre-pregnant BMI, maternal smoking, education and income, current child total daily calorie intake and current child physical activity.

Model 3: Model 2 + current child BMI.
