Change in IOS variable per 1-unit z-score increase.

Model 1 adjusts for child sex, body mass index, ethnicity, asset index, ethnicity, maternal age, number of antenatal visits and gestational age at delivery. Model 2 additionally adjusts for prenatal secondhand tobacco smoke exposure, and prenatal household air pollution exposure as indexed by carbon monoxide
