Maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index adjusted for maternal age, parity, education, smoking status during pregnancy and diabetes (type 1 in MoBa and all types in DNBC). Paternal body mass index adjusted for paternal age, education, smoking (paternal smoking in MoBa and maternal partner smoking in DNBC) and type 1 diabetes (MoBa only). Multiple imputation of missing exposure and covariate information using chained equations. A total of 20 datasets were imputed.
