What surprised me is how little DNA methylation associations correlated between time points. We found more correlations between different outcomes than between time points. However, a limitation is that this may partly reflect tissue differences (cord blood vs peripheral blood).

1. DNA methylation was more strongly associated with child health outcomes when both were measured concurrently in childhood.
2. However, the number of significantly associated DNA methylation sites was not necessarily larger, sometimes even higher when DNA methylation was measured at birth!
