T1 was considered as reference group

aBreast milk was adjusted in Model I: for mother age, and energy intake and in Model II additionally, adjusted for mother SBP, DBP and BMI

bInfant urine was adjusted in Model I for infant age, and sex and in Model II additionally, for infant weight and head circumference
