Results from univariate and multiple linear regression.
Adjusted for gestational age at birth.
Gestational age at birth.
BMI (kg/m2) was measured in gestational week 14–16.
Gestational weight gain 14–16 to 36–38 weeks.
Fasting glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol (mmol/l) were measured at gestational week 30–32.
