Note: Please see footnote for Table 1 for description of variables and statistical tests. The corresponding subgroups were not statistically significantly different in any of the variables when the division was made according to GA (except, as expected, BW). On the other hand, when the division is made according to BW (in addition to the expected difference in GA), the subgroups differed with respect to weight and height (bold).
