Figure 1. (a) Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for poor physical functioning (dots) and psychosocial functioning (squares) according to tertiles of maternal body mass index, both sexes combined. Model 1 is adjusted for age and sex; Model 2, in addition to age, is also adjusted for parity, gestational age, childhood social class and smoking; Model 3, in addition to all previous adjustments, is adjusted for birth weight.

Model 1 is adjusted for age; Model 2, in addition to age, is also adjusted for parity, gestational age, childhood social class and smoking; Model 3, in addition to all previous adjustments, is adjusted for birth weight. (c) Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for poor physical functioning (dots) and psychosocial functioning (squares) according to tertiles of maternal body mass index for women. Model 1 is adjusted for age; Model 2, in addition to age, is also adjusted for parity, gestational age, childhood social class and smoking; Model 3, in addition to all previous adjustments, is adjusted for birth weight.
