*Maternal age at delivery (years), total energy intake (kcal/day) evaluated in Cox proportional hazards analyses.
†Maternal age at delivery (years), total energy intake (kcal/day), body mass index, daily smoking prior to pregnancy, parity, diabetes mellitus (prior or during pregnancy or type unspecified), gestational hypertension (with or without proteinuria), preterm delivery (<37 weeks gestation) and physical activity (>3 hours, <3 hours per/week, missing).
‡Model 2 covariates plus intake of dietary fibre (g/day) and added sugar from food as percent energy.
§Low weight gain between prepregnancy and 6 months postpartum weight (<7 kg).
%E, as percent of total energy; Q, quintile; SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage.
