aValues are regression coefficients (95 % confidence intervals). **p <0.01, ***p <0.001. All body composition outcomes are age- and sex- adjusted standard deviation scores. bModel 1: adjusted for potential confounders: maternal age, educational level, BMI, and psychiatric symptoms during pregnancy; family income; child ethnicity, sex, age when CEBQ was filled out, birth weight, and functional constipation at age 4 years; breastfeeding, and introduction of fruit and vegetables. cModel 2: model 1 + additionally adjusted for children’s BMI at age 4 years
