Cross-lagged model of associations between neurodevelopment and z-scored BMI at the age of 6 and 12 months (N = 449). The values represent β-regression coefficients and adjusted for confounding variables. The model fit well among the five models, and ranged from: Χ² = 6.86–20.98, RMSEA = 0.02–0.05, CFI = 0.96–1.00, TLI = 0.98–1.00, SRMR = 0–0.02. T1:6 months; T2: 12 months; BMI: body mass index. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001
