Basic model: Adjusted model for batch and cell count. Adjusted model 1: Adjusted model for batch, cell count, age, sex, social class and maternal smoking during pregnancy. Adjusted model 2: Adjusted model for batch, cell count, age, sex, social class, regular cannabis use, regular alcohol use, passive smoke and maternal smoking during pregnancy. Adjusted model 3: Adjusted model for batch, cell count, age, sex, social class, regular cannabis use, regular alcohol use, passive smoke, maternal smoking during pregnancy and methylation at age 7. Adjusted model 4: Adjusted model for batch, cell count, age, sex, social class, regular cannabis use, regular alcohol use, passive smoke, maternal smoking during pregnancy and cord blood methylation.
