Supplementary Table. Comparison of relevant characteristics between women who attended the postpartum evaluation versus those who were lost to follow-up.
| Women who attended the postpartum evaluation (n=100) | Women who were lost to follow-up (n=43) | P values | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 30.7 ± 6.6 | 30.2 ± 5.7 | 0.661 |
| Family history of DM | 34 (34.3) | 15 (35.7) | 0.876 |
| Physical activity | 42 (42.0) | 19 (45.2) | 0.722 |
| Pregestational BMI (kg/m2) | 29.7 (3.9) | 30.0 (3.7) | 0.603 |
| Gestational diabetes | 50 (50.0) | 16 (38.1) | 0.194 |
| First pregnancy | 30 (30.0) | 11 (26.2) | 0.155 |
| Systolic BP (mmHg) | 113.7 ± 11.7 | 111.2 ± 10.4 | 0.343 |
| Diastolic BP (mmHg) | 71.0 ± 10.2 | 68.8 ± 10.1 | 0.350 |
The values are shown as mean ± standard deviation or n (%). The variables were analyzed using Student's t test or chi-square test. P values < 0.05 were considered significant. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure. Physical activity levels were deemed to be of moderate intensity when lasting ≥ 75 minutes/week and of high intensity when lasting ≥ 150 minutes/week.
