a

Model 1: Adjusted for maternal age at enrollment, race/ethnicity (white, black, other), smoking during pregnancy (any, former, never), education (any college, no college), child’s age at testing (continuous, in years), and child’s sex.

b

Model 2: Additionally adjusted for maternal alcohol consumption during the first trimester of pregnancy (servings per day, continuous) and median neighborhood household income.

c

Model 2 had 33 more missing values than model 1 due to the additional adjustment of alcohol consumption and median household income.

d

The CpG sites evaluated had significantly higher methylation in cord blood (PBH<0.05) in association with a 50% reduction in residential proximity to major roadways at birth.
