Table 3. Maternal glycemic levels during pregnancy (mmol/l) related to offspring BMI (kg/m2) at 5–7 years by sex in group exposed to gestational diabetes mellitus.

Linear regression Boys exposed to GDM Girls exposed to GDM
n Beta coefficient (SE) P n Beta coefficient (SE) P
Crude models 173 +0.27 (0.15) 0.070 168 +0.08 (0.15) 0.574
Adjusted models 169 +0.31 (0.15) 0.040 165 +0.09 (0.14) 0.524

For each sex, two models are presented: one crude (non-adjusted) model and one adjusted model. Data are from the subset (n) of children exposed to GDM with maternal glycemic measurement taken with oral glucose tolerance test (100-g-OGTT) available for analysis. The dependent variable is offspring BMI (kg/m2) at 5–7 years regressed by 2-h post-load maternal glycemic measurement (mmol/l). The co-factors included in the adjusted models were the same as in Table 2, plus the child’s exact age (years) and squared exact age (years2). BMI: body mass index. GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus.
