Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation or median ± interquartile range (IQR) for variables with no normal distribution. P-values for continuous data were calculated using U-Mann Whitney test. O’sullivan: glucose level in O’sullivan test. BMI: body mass index. HDL: high density lipoprotein cholesterol. SBP: diastolic blood pressure. SBP: systolic blood pressure. Tg: triglycerides. NB: newborn. HC: head circumference. Weight gain: calculated as the difference between the weight at the visit and at basal visit. †Median ± IQR.
