  1. HOMA-IR: Homeostasis Insulin Resistance Index, PQ-DP: Poor-quality dietary pattern group, HC-DP: Health-consious dietary pattern group, pct: percentile. All models adjusted by sex, country (reference category: Spain), energy intake at 8y, diet during the first year of life (reference category: Low protein formula), maternal education level (reference category: Low), maternal smoking during pregnancy, maternal BMI and BMI z-score at 8y. The R2 for the goodness of fit is provided for each model. Bold numbers: statistically significant. Reference dietary pattern group: HC-DP at 2 years and HC-DP at 8 years. Confounders with effect on the outcome variable: a Belgium (OR = 6.288, p = 0.034), Poland (OR = 6.323, p = 0.010), maternal BMI (OR = 1.102, p = 0.032). b Poland (OR = 5.599, p = 0.015). c Italy (OR = 0.300, p = 0.002), BMI z-score at 8y (OR = 2.003, p < 0.001). d Poland (OR = 4.189, p = 0.044), maternal education level: medium (OR = 0.367, p = 0.047), maternal BMI (OR = 1.141, p = 0.008). e Diet during the first year of life: breastfed (OR = 3.183, p = 0.027). f Italy (OR = 0.245, p = 0.001), Poland (OR = 0.392, p = 0.037), smoking during pregnancy (OR = 2.093, p = 0.031), BMI z-score at 8y (OR = 2.038, p < 0.001). g Poland (OR = 7.694, p = 0.018), maternal education level: medium (OR = 0.355, p = 0.044), maternal BMI (OR = 1.150, p = 0.005). h Diet during the first year of life: breastfed (OR = 3.386, p = 0.022). i Italy (OR = 0.233, p = 0.001), Poland (OR = 0.360, p = 0.039), smoking during pregnancy (OR = 2.111, p = 0.031), BMI z-score at 8y (OR = 2.071, p < 0.001)
