1 Values are OR (95% CI) expressed for 10-point increment in HEI scores for continuous analysis and with reference to the lowest tertile (T1) for tertile analysis. Multivariable models were adjusted for maternal and paternal socio-economic status, education status, marital status, cigarettes smoking and alcohol consumption, energy intake, household income, age at recruitment, pre-pregnancy body mass index, and child age at follow-up (included in models for five-year outcomes only) and sex (for overweight and obese status child sex was intrinsically adjusted). Missing covariate information was handled by pooling effect estimates from 20 multiply-imputed datasets. *p < 0.05.
