Obesity is defined as a BMI z-score in the 95th percentile or above.

b

Model contains combined inverse probability weights for censoring and treatment. Treatment weights include the following baseline covariates, measured at birth: Maternal age category, maternal education, smoking during pregnancy, maternal mental health problems, parental relationship, household income, neighborhood poverty, and preterm birth.
