For each sex, two models are presented: one crude (non-adjusted) model and one adjusted model. Figures are odds ratios (OR), 95% confidence interval of odds ratios, Pvalue for global effect. Data are from pairs (1:1) of children (exposed to GDM / unexposed to GDM) matched for sex, gestational age, and birth period. Reference category for dependent variable is BMI < IOTF-25. Missing data distribution (number of missing observations / total number of observations): Crude model for Boys (2/618); Crude model for Girls (0/582); Adjusted model for Boys (11/618); Adjusted model for Girls (13/582). BMI: body mass index. GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus. IOTF: international obesity task force cut-off.
