“…The linear regression models were unadjusted models (Model 1), and models adjusting for ICV (Model 2), ICV and child age (Model 3), and with additional adjustments for SES and exposure to maternal GDM (Model 4), and additionally, child BMI z ‐score (Model 5). These covariates were previously shown to influence hippocampal volume and thus were added to the model to control for potential confounding (Bauer et al, ; Hair, Hanson, Wolfe, & Pollak, ; Jabès, Thomas, Langworthy, Georgieff, & Nelson, ; Krogsrud et al, ; Mestre et al, ; Uematsu et al, ). Since the majority (93%) of children were prepubertal (Tanner stage < 2), Tanner stage was not adjusted in the regression models.…”
