P value was given for the statistical significance of the linear trend test of odds ratios among five ordinal birthweight categories.

a

Model 1, survey-weighted logistic regression models that controlled for age, ethnic group, NHANES circles, family income, and maternal smoking status.

b

Model 2 = Model 1 + BMI.
