Associations between maternal pregnancy E-DII and DASH scores and late-childhood [10.6 (1.2) years] OWOB. Black dots indicate study-specific point effect estimates with corresponding 95% CIs indicated by horizontal lines, and diamonds indicate the pooled estimates with their corresponding 95% CIs. When studies were omitted one at a time for pregnancy E-DII and DASH meta-analysis, the overall pooled estimates were largely the same: for E-DII, pooled estimates ranged from 1.05 (0.98, 1.12) when excluding EDEN to 1.12 (1.02, 1.22) when excluding ALSPAC; for DASH, the pooled estimates ranged from 0.93 (0.88, 0.99) when excluding SWS to 0.90 (0.84, 0.97) when excluding GEN R. Effect estimates were adjusted for maternal education, ethnicity, pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal height, parity, energy intake (for DASH analysis only), cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy and (intrinsically adjusted for the outcome) child sex and age at measurement.
