Model 1 was adjusted for field center + child age, sex, and pubertal status (Tanner stage 1, 2/3, 4/5, and sex × Tanner stage interaction) + maternal variables at pregnancy OGTT (age, height, mean arterial pressure, parity [0 or 1+], smoking [yes/no], drinking [yes/no], and gestational age), and child’s family history of diabetes in first-degree relatives. Model 2 was model 1 + maternal BMI at pregnancy OGTT. Model 3 was model 1 + child’s BMI z score. Model 4 was model 1 + maternal BMI at pregnancy OGTT + child’s BMI z score.
