For model 1: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (90% CI) was adjusted for age and sex.

For model 2: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (90% CI) was adjusted for age and sex and secretor status.

For model 3: it was for secretor mothers only and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (90% CI) was adjusted for age and sex.

For model 4: it was for non-secretor mothers only and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (90% CI) was adjusted for age and sex.
