Table 3:

The percent of participants from the FFD study and the PROGRESS study that were classified by the mathematical model into a different gestational weight gain category. The majority of the misclassifications involved participants who self-reported a lower pre-pregnancy weight from the model predictions. The majority of misclassifications that occurred in both the FFD and PROGRESS studies were women who self-reported pre-pregnancy weights into a normal weight category, but were classified by the model into an overweight category.
