Values are mean (SD) unless otherwise indicated.
p Value next to each group corresponds to a t-test of Q1–Q3 versus Q4 in each group: SGA and AGA.
p1 Value corresponds to t-test for MHO-AGA versus MHO-SGA.
Each p value corresponds to an ANOVA test for each four quartiles.
MHO corresponds to Q1–Q3 in each subgroup (AGA-obese and SGA-obese).
AGA, appropriate for gestational age; ANOVA, analysis of variance; BP, blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; MHO, metabolically healthy obese; Q, quartile; SGA, small for gestational age.
