In the originally published version of this article, Figure 1 was incorrectly labelled: the yellow line, which should have been labelled as ‘Male no GDM’, was labelled as ‘Male GDM’, while the orange line, which should have been labelled as ‘Male GDM’, was labelled as Male no GDM’. This has now been corrected.

Figure 1.

Figure 1

Body mass index of offspring born to a pregnancy with vs without gestational diabetes (GDM) by offspring sex. Covariates in the multivariate model include age (continuous), maternal age (continuous), pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI: < 24.99, 25–29, 30 + kg/m2), geographical region (Northeast, Midwest, West, South) and pre-pregnancy smoking status (never, past, current). Purple line indicates female offspring born from pregnancies complicated by GDM. Green line indicates female offspring born from pregnancies uncomplicated by GDM. Yellow line indicates male offspring born from pregnancies uncomplicated by GDM. Orange line indicates male offspring born from pregnancies complicated by GDM.
