Note: Values are median (range). RI  resistance index, PI  pulsatility Index, S/D  the ratio between peak systolic flow and lowest diastolic flow.

a P value obtained by group-to-group comparison, BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 vs. ≥28 kg/m2.

b P value obtained by group-to-group comparison, 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24 kg/m2 vs. ≥28 kg/m2.
