BMI, body mass index; GDM, gestional diabetes mellitude; HDCP, hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy; GWG, gestational weight gain; SGA, small for gestational age;
a The p-values taken from univariate logistic regression compared with the referent (normal BMI).
b P values for trend across categories of different paternal BMI.
*P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
