All regressions were adjusted for sex, maternal education, maternal prepregnancy BMI, maternal antenatal fasting glucose, gestational weight gain per week, and gestational age at delivery. Statistically significant (p<0.05) p values are highlighted in bold.

SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue.
