All models adjusted for maternal height, age, smoking status, passive smoking exposure, prepregnancy BMI, pregnancy weight gain, parity, pregnancy hypertension; child sex and gestational age at delivery; child age and weight for age z-score at methylation measurement; blood cell type proportions; and ten principal components representing processing batch effects (>90% of variance).
