Multiple linear regression analysis carried out. Adjusted for maternal education level, infant age in weeks at 2-year follow-up exam, infant gender, breastfeeding duration and study group. Maternal dietary underreporters removed (*Goldberg ratio ≤ 0.9). Maternal dietary intake derived from food diaries in each trimester of pregnancy
