Model 1. Adjusted for child age and sex.

Model 2. Model 1 + maternal age, education, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), pregnancy weight gain, gestational diabetes and smoking during pregnancy and child race/ethnicity.

Model 3. Model 2 + child sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) and fast food intake and TV h/d.

hsCRP, high sensitivity c-reactive protein; DXA, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; FMI, fat mass index; FFMI, fat free mass index; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; HDL, high density lipoprotein; SS + TR, subscapular and triceps skinfold.

Snoring was treated as a continuous (ordinal) exposure with values ranging from 1 = almost never to 5 = every night.
