1Values are ordinary least square (OLS) and quantile regression beta-coefficients (adjusted for birth weight, weight velocity between 12–24 weeks, 12 week BMI-for-age Z-score, maternal education, study site and intervention arm) with respective 95% confidence intervals in brackets. 466 observations were assessed in the models. With the exception of study arm, only variables that had significant association with BMI-for-age Z-score in the bivariate analysis were included in the final model. R-squared/pseudo R-squared.
