1 Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median [25th; 75th percentile] as appropriate. HW: High weight gain group; NW: normal weight gain group. 2 p-values for differences between groups by independent t test and Mann-Whitney U test as appropriate. 3 p-values for differences between groups adjusted for sex and fasting time (glucose and insulin) analyzed by general linear models.
