Table 3 Anthropometric parameters in the offspring in association with maternal body mass index (BMI) status early in pregnancy, derived from both unadjusted and adjusted analyses

From: Higher maternal BMI early in pregnancy is associated with overweight and obesity in young adult offspring in Thailand

  1. Data are means and 95% confidence intervals
  2. Underweight, BMI < 18.5 kg/m2; normal weight, 18.5–24.99 kg/m2; and overweight/obesity, ≥25.0 kg/m2
  3. Adjusted models accounted for gestational age, birth order, sex, and age, as well as height for offspring weight, and maternal height for offspring height
  4. ****p < 0.0001 for comparisons to the offspring of mothers of normal weight; ††p < 0.01 and ††††p < 0.0001 for comparisons to the offspring of underweight mothers
