Abstract
Results: Altogether, 175 children developed advanced beta cell autoimmunity or T1D during the follow-up. Maternal BMI before pregnancy or weight gain during pregnancy was not associated with the end-point. Maternal vocational education was associated with child's smaller risk of developing advanced beta cell autoimmunity.
