‡The data of offspring was corrected using the basic information and their parents’ cognitive scores.
Mgroup and Fgroup refer to the famine group according to mother’s or father’s birth time, respectively. Mothers or fathers who were born 1946.1.1–1948.12.31 are classified as adolescent famine exposure; born 1949.1.1–1956.12.31 are classified as school-age famine exposure; born 1957.1.1–1958.12.31 are classified as infancy famine exposure; born 1959.1.1–1961.12.31 are classified as fetal famine exposure; born 1962.1.1–1969.12.31 are classified as the control group.
Multiple linear regression model was adjusted by current location, sex, education level, marital status, age in 2010, income level, social relation, happiness, social status, life satisfaction, body mass index (BMI), health status, diagnosed disease, smoking status, drinking status, and nap status.
