  1. Covariates were added to the logistic regression model sequentially from left to right.
  2. Phenotypic variables that remained significantly different between cases and controls following full covariate adjustment are highlighted in bold.
  3. †Child measures = age, sex, Caucasian ancestry (y/n).
  4. *β coefficients reported for continuous exposures.
  5. ** Not adjusted for since same as, or highly significantly correlated with, the exposure variable.
  6. ‡ Mother’s completion of high school used in the model as a proxy for mother’s SEIFA score (correlation: r = 0.24, p < 0.0001) due to insufficient data for SEIFA.
