SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, 25(OH)D = 25-hydroxyvitamin D, T1 = first trimester, BMI = body mass index. Reference categories for dichotomous variables are baseline BMI<30, parous, no preexisting medical condition, age <40 years, no tobacco use and no assisted reproduction. Weight, 25(OH)D and height are continuous.
a. Blood pressure at 3 time points (gestational week 25, 32 and 37), adjusted for blood pressure at baseline (week 10)
b. Adjusted for baseline SBP or DBP, multifetal pregnancy, Northern European birth country, baseline employment status, gestational age at baseline, month of conception and baseline tobacco use
