Values are based on multiple linear regression models and reflect differences and 95 % CI in bone outcomes for quartiles of dietary pattern adherence scores, as compared to the lowest quartile. Values for dietary patterns continuously reflect a difference per one SD increase in adherence scores. Models are adjusted for child’s sex, ethnicity, birth weight Z-score, adherence scores for the two other dietary patterns, total energy intake, time interval between dietary assessment and visit, age at visit, height at visit, weight at visit (i.e., fat + lean mass), and maternal BMI at enrolment
