Obesity was defined as a body mass index more than the 95th percentiles (≥1.645 Z score) for age and gender specific distribution using WHO growth reference.

*Adjusted for maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, weight gain during pregnancy, education, occupation, family income, and child age, sex, gestational age, and mode of infant feeding.

Adjusted for variables in Model 1 and also indoor activity, outdoor activity, TV watching time, and sleeping time, other than the variable in the analyses.
