Low adherence to MDQS is the reference (Ref.) category for diet and adequate RGWG is the reference category for adequacy of GWG in the logistic multilevel model.

Adjusted for gestational age.

Models adjusted for pre-pregnancy BMI, energy intake, gestational age, maternal age, educational level, parity, fetal sex, marital status and physical activity.

Abbreviations: RGWG: rate gestational weight gain; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; Pre- BMI: pregestational body mass index.
