Metabolite concentrations were log10-transformed prior to use in the regression models that generated the estimates displayed in the table. β estimates are adjusted for maternal smoking habits during pregnancy, and child’s age at research visit, sex and race/ethnicity

a

ICC for each metabolite across T1 and T2

b

Tier 2 identification (denoted by [2]) in which no commercially available authentic standards could be found, but annotated based on accurate mass, spectral and chromatographic similarity to tier 1-identified compounds (denoted by [1])

*

Significant at α = 0.05;

Significant after Bonferroni correction (α < 0.05/21 = 0.002 at each time point)
