Fig 3 Fetal and childhood length and weight growth from first trimester onwards in children with clustering of cardiovascular risk factors (n=745). Values are regression coefficients (95% confidence interval) that reflect the difference in length and weight standard deviation score from first trimester onwards for children with clustering of cardiovascular risk factors, compared with children without such clustering. Models were adjusted for maternal duration of last menstrual cycle and child’s sex and age at outcome measurements. Length and weight growth characteristics used in the models were: fetal period—first trimester crown to rump length as both length and weight measure (starting point), second and third trimester femur length and estimated fetal weight; at birth—length and weight; during childhood—length and weight. Clustering of cardiovascular risk factors was defined as having three or more of android fat mass percentage ≥75th centile, systolic or diastolic blood pressure ≥75th centile, high density lipoprotein cholesterol ≤25th centile or triglycerides ≥75th centile, and insulin concentration ≥75th centile²²
