Values are differences in z score lung function (95% CIs). Z scores were calculated for sex, age, and height at the time of measurement. Models are adjusted for maternal age, education level, body mass index, parity, smoking during pregnancy, anxiety, history of asthma, and the child's sex, gestational age, and breast-feeding duration. Models of weight were additionally adjusted for preceding height and weight growth trajectories, and models of height were additionally adjusted for preceding height growth trajectories and birth weight. Models for lung function at age 15 years were additionally adjusted for lung function measures at age 8 years.
