Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HER, high energy reporting; LER, low energy reporting.

^aOdds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated from a logistic regression model of LER vs. non-LER, with adjustment for other significant predictors (pregravid BMI, marital status, and physical activity).

^bWeight (kg)/height (m)².

^cOdds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated from a logistic regression model of HER vs. non-HER, with adjustment for other significant predictors (pregravid BMI, race/ethnicity, education, and depressive symptoms).
