Estimates were generated from linear regression models with natural log-transformed biochemicals as the dependent variables, and body mass index or body fat percent as the dependent variable. Multiple testing adjustment was performed by controlling the false discovery rate at 5%. Estimates are back-transformed. The models were additionally adjusted for age, calories consumed, protein consumed, carbohydrates consumed, fat consumed, maternal gestational weight gain, maternal BMI, breastfeeding duration, smoking status, smoking household, alcohol status, maternal occupation, maternal education, metabolic equivalent of task-hours. * Compound was not identified by a standard, but we are confident in its identity. Abbreviations: CV, cofactors and vitamins; PCM, partially characterized molecules; XB, xenobiotics; FDR, False Discovery Rate.
