BMI, body mass index; BMI SDS, body mass index standard deviation score; MPHSDS, mid-parental height standard deviation score; SDS, standard deviation score.
Age data are means ± standard deviations; other data are means and 95% confidence intervals adjusted for confounding factors in multivariable models, namely maternal age and ethnicity, child’s sex and age, as well as one of the following: (i) MPHSDS for length; and (ii) maternal BMI at trial baseline for weight and other body proportions.
