Odds ratios are given to show the association between gestational diabetes and the sleep characteristic, without consideration of covariates and with separate adjustment for: age; BMI; race/ethnicity categories; white, non-Hispanic race/ethnicity; frequent snoring noted before pregnancy; and employment schedule (regular day shift, some form of shift work, unemployed). For race/ethnicity, Asian and other are collapsed.
