  1. Model 1: Adjusted for child sex, birth weight for gestational age, family income at birth, maternal schooling at birth, maternal body mass index pre-pregnancy, maternal smoking in pregnancy, and breastfeeding
  2. Model 2: Adjusted for model 1 + moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
  3. *Significant interaction between conditional weight gain and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, P = 0.029
