Model 1: crude | Model 2: + parental characteristics* | Model 3: + pregnancy characteristics† | Model 4: intrauterine growth‡ | Model 5: number of siblings§ | ||
*Adjusted for social class at birth, gravidity, illegitimacy, maternal age, maternal height, maternal physical condition. †Adjusted for all covariates included in model 2 plus pregnancy induced hypertension, antepartum haemorrhage, artificial rupture of membranes, and method of delivery. ‡Adjusted for all covariates included in model 3 plus sex and gestational age standardized birth weight z scores. §Adjusted for all covariates included in model 4 plus number of siblings that the child indicated they had at the time of the 1962 survey. All exposures in these models are age and sex standardised. | ||||||
