Abbreviation: false discovery rate (FDR); Body mass index (BMI); BMI z-score (BMIz); DNA methylation (DNAm).

a Adjusted for child sex, maternal education (college graduate), maternal smoking during pregnancy (never, former, during pregnancy), age at blood draw for DNA methylation, and cell type proportions. Batch effect from plate was adjusted in ComBat. BMIz was included in ComBat model to protect regression variability;

b Adjusted for child sex, maternal education (college graduate), maternal smoking during pregnancy (never, former, during pregnancy), age at the early adolescence visit, age at blood draw for DNA methylation, and cell type proportions. Batch effect from plate was adjusted in ComBat.
