Model adjusted for gender and birth order, maternal age at delivery, maternal education, maternal body mass index (BMI), maternal religion, wealth index, place of residence. Estimates are in reference to low pollution, male children, 4th+ birth order, high maternal education, non-Christian religion, the highest quintile of wealth index, and urban residence for categorical predictors
