Values are βs (95% CIs) for each outcome per 1-unit increase in the dietary pattern factor score. Model 1 adjusted for mother’s marital status, education, and smoking habits during pregnancy and for child's age; model 2 adjusted as for model 1 and for child’s physical activity (hours per week); model 3 adjusted as for model 2 and for child’s pubertal status (prepubertal vs. pubertal).
