Variables included in models were composite maternal OGTT*, age, race/ethnicity, prepregnancy maternal BMI, maternal weight gain, neonatal factors of large for gestational age (LGA), small for gestational age (SGA), fat mass, and elevated cord c-peptide level, gender, and age of the child at exam. HOMA-IR, sum of skin folds, and subscapular to triceps skinfold ratios were log-transformed.
