HRs adjusted for birthweight z score and birth length z score, sex, HLA risk, maternal type 1 diabetes status, mode of delivery and breastfeeding duration, and stratified by region of residence. Presented p values are nominal (uncorrected) p values, and were considered significant if <0.005. Shaded analyses: model failed to converge
