Adjusted OR1 for vitamin D is adjusted for age, prepregnancy BMI, family history of diabetes, parity, smoking, drinking, gestational week of blood withdrawn, income, and education; adjusted OR1 for conception season is adjusted for age, prepregnancy BMI, family history of diabetes, parity, smoking, drinking, income, and education; adjusted OR2 for vitamin D is adjusted OR1 plus adjusting for conception season (as four categories); adjusted OR2 for conception season was adjusted OR1 plus adjusting for vitamin D (as three categories). Adjusted OR3 is adjusted OR1 plus the season of the blood draw (as four categories) in the first trimester. Abbreviations: BMI: body mass index; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
