Abbreviations: N: number, SDS: standard deviation scores, PWV: peak weight velocity, AGEAP: age at adiposity peak, BMIAP: body mass index at adiposity peak. Overweight includes overweight and obesity cases based on standard definitions established by Cole et al (24). Values represent odds ratios (95% CI) based on multivariate logistic regression. Model adjusted for age, sex (total group), age mother, body mass index before pregnancy, parity, maternal complications during pregnancy, education mother, marital status, smoking during pregnancy, use of alcohol during pregnancy, folic acid supplement use, paternal body mass index, standard deviation score birth weight, child’s ethnicity, number of postnatal measurements, duration of breastfeeding, age at introduction of solid foods and watching television.

* P value <0.05

** P value <0.01

*** P values for interaction with sex <0.05

**** P values for heterogeneity between sex<0.05.
