Adjusted for maternal BMI, child age, maternal education, maternal race, financial security; Logistic or linear Regression used, estimates are usual estimates from a linear model.

^a p Values are corrected for multiple testing within each outcome by using the False Discovery Rate.

MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity.
