Notes: AOR = adjusted odds ratio. OR = odds ratio. SGA = small-for-gestational age = <10th percentile of sex-specific birth weight for gestational age. (N = 1,027). SGA was based on birth weight and LMP-based gestational age and compared to the national U.S. sex-specific distribution of LMP-based SGA from 1999–2000. Fully adjusted models included a binary indicator for missing data on pre-pregnancy weight. Statistically significant estimates at p < .05 are in bold.
