Mean difference in neonatal abdominal adiposity according to maternal plasma 25 (OH)D status (i.e., sufficiency vs. inadequacy) in GUSTO study
| sSAT (ml) | dSAT (ml) | IAT (ml) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall MRI group (N = 292) | |||
| 25(OH)D sufficiency (>75.0 nmol/L) | Reference | Reference | Reference |
| 25(OH)D inadequacy (≤75.0 nmol/L) | 7.3 (2.1, 12.4) | 2.0 (0.6, 3.4) | 1.1 (−0.8, 2.9) |
| P = 0.006 | P = 0.005 | P = 0.268 | |
| Non-GDM group (N = 237) | |||
| 25(OH)D sufficiency (>75.0 nmol/L) | Reference | Reference | Reference |
| 25(OH)D inadequacy (≤75.0 nmol/L) | 4.8 (−0.6, 10.1) | 1.7 (0.3, 3.1) | 0.6 (−1.3, 2.4) |
| P = 0.075 | P = 0.019 | P = 0.549 | |
Associations shown are differences in mean (95% CI) of 25(OH)D inadequacy group vs the reference 25(OH)D sufficient group
P-values were determined with the use of multivariable regression models
Total sample size (N) is not always 292 or 237 due to the missing values
Models controlled for ethnicity, sex, age on MRI day, gestational week, maternal age, maternal education, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, and parity
sSAT abdominal superficial subcutaneous adipose tissue, dSAT abdominal deep subcutaneous adipose tissue, IAT abdominal internal adipose tissue
