  3. Data on n (%) are the number and proportion of available samples for a given parameter per group; all other data are means and the respective 95% confidence intervals, with adjusted models accounting for gestational age, birth order, and sex, as well as participant’s height for blood pressure
  4. *p < 0.05 for a pairwise comparison to the offspring of mothers with overweight/obesity
