BMI, body mass index; SE, standard error. a Associated with a unit increase in the dietary pattern score. b P value for the interaction between the dietary pattern score and maternal race. c Adjusted for maternal age, race, education, insurance type, marital status, total energy intake, alcohol intake and smoking during pregnancy, parity, and child sex. d Further adjusted for gestational diabetes, gestational age at birth, birthweight, breastfed status, and childhood energy intake trajectory in addition to the covariables included in Model 1.
