Figure 3.
Newborn body composition by maternal AUC glucose tertiles (women receiving insulin during pregnancy excluded), adjusting for newborn sex and gestational age. Ethnic differences are significant for each newborn parameter (P<0.0001 for each). Birthweight, skinfold thickness, and ponderal index increase with increasing AUC glucose (continuous measure) adjusting for newborn sex and gestational age (P<0.0001, P=0.0006, P<0.0001 respectively); while there is no trend found with birthlength (P=0.57).
