* Multivariable models in all children adjusted for child sex, maternal education, maternal BMI, maternal age, ethnicity, gestational age at delivery and CBMC storage time. ** Sex-specific models stratified by child sex. Multivariable models adjusted for maternal education, maternal BMI, maternal age, ethnicity, gestational age at delivery and CBMC storage time.
