1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort, Brazil, 2008.
↵* Model 1: adjustment for sex, skin colour, puberty status, socioeconomic level, pre-gestational BMI and smoking during pregnancy.
↵† Model 2: adjustment for variables included in model 1 plus BMI (except when the outcome was BMI) and height at 14–15 years.
↵‡ Change in outcome per SD increase in conditional weight or length/height.
β, beta coefficient; BMI, body mass index; mo, months.
