Sensitivity analyses Combined infancy physiological regulatory problems showed a positive trend, but not statistically significant association with FSS at age 11–12 in females ( b = 0.31, 95% CI [− 0.03, 0.65]) (Table A2_1 ), whereas the result was still statistically significant when including only male participants ( b = 0.47, 95% CI [0.12, 0.82]).

Similar results were found in Dennis et al’s peer-support study [ 35 ] where a positive trend in favor of the intervention group was found for maternal PNA.
