Model 1: Adjusted for child age at outcome and sex, except SBP‐z, DPB‐z, and BMI‐z scores, which already account for age and sex, and thus these models are not additionally adjusted. Model 2: Model 1+maternal race/ethnicity, age at enrollment, height and prepregnancy BMI, education, household income, parity, smoking during pregnancy. Model 3: Model 2+birth weight for gestational age z‐score. BMI indicates body mass index; CI, confidence interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; DXA, dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry scan; HDL, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA‐IR, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; hsCRP, high sensitivity C‐reactive protein; IL‐6, interleukin 6; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SS:TR, ratio of subscapular (SS) and triceps skinfold thicknesses (TR); SS+TR, sum of the subscapular and triceps skinfold thicknesses.
