| Non-Hispanic, white | 2 (2%) |
| Pre-pregnancy BMI, kg/m2 (n=94), n (%) | |
| < 18.5 | 1 (1%) |
| 18.5 – 24.9 | 37 (39%) |
| 25 – 29.9 | 30 (32%) |
| 30 – 44.9 | 23 (25%) |

| Gestational age (n=108), n (%) | |
| < 34 weeks | 4 (4%) |
| 34 – 37 weeks | 11 (10%) |

| Birth Anthropometrics, mean (SD) | |
| Birth weight kg (n=110)a | 3.09 (0.64) |
| Birth weight z-score* | −0.39 (1.06) |
| Birth length cm (n=89)b | 49.13 (2.93) |
| Birth length z-score | −0.028 (1.07) |
| Weight/length z-score**† (n=74)c | −0.35 (1.04) |
*
Significant different from zero P=0.0002.
**
Significant different from zero P=0.005.
†
Does not include premature infants.
Note:
a
Birth weight information was missing for 1 infant.
b
Birth length was missing for 22 infants.
c
Birth weight/length z-scores could not be generated for 36 infants due to the following: missing length (22), prematurity (11), and lack of reference data to generate weight/length for full term infants with length < 44 cm at birth (4).
