Associations of parental caffeine intake with obesity and central obesity at 5 and 9 y1

Overweight/obese (IOTF) Central obesity (WC > 90th percentile)
Year 5 Year 9 Year 5 Year 9
P 0.85 (0.65, 1.11) 1.33 (0.97, 1.82)T 1.20 (0.87, 1.66) 1.001 (0.52, 1.92)
M 1.32 (1.11, 1.57)** 1.44 (1.10, 1.88)** 1.28 (1.02, 1.60)* 1.62 (1.12, 2.34)*

1Regressions were adjusted for maternal socio-economic status, education attainment, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption during periconceptional period, age at recruitment, parity, prepregnancy BMI; regressions for different caffeine sources were additionally mutually adjusted for each other; the outcomes were intrinsically adjusted for child gender and age at measurement. Values are OR (95% CI) from logistic regressions; only performed for maternal and paternal exposure due to insufficient cases for grandparental exposure. Sample size: Year 5 (BMI: P = 214; M = 558) (WC: P = 212; M = 557). Year 9 (BMI: P = 145; M = 283) (WC: P = 137; M = 269). P, paternal; M, maternal.

TP = 0.08, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
