Association of MDQS with inadequate and excessive RWGW during pregnancy in women with a pre-pregnancy BMI <25 Kg/m² and ≥ 25 Kg/m².

		Inadequate RGW		Adequate RGW	Excessive RGW
Pre- BMI	MDQS adherence	Adjusted model^b OR (%95 CI)	P		Adjusted model^b OR (%95 CI)	P
<25 Kg/m²	Low adherence	Ref.		Ref.	Ref.
	Medium adherence	0.426 (0.184, 0.985)	0.046	Ref.	0.347 (0.126,0.952)	0.040
	High adherence	0.295 (0.092, 0.946)	0.040	Ref.	0.242 (0.059, 0.989)	0.048
≥25 Kg/m²	Low adherence	Ref.		Ref.	Ref.
	Medium adherence	0.095 (0.010, 0.906)	0.044	Ref.	0.084 (0.126,0.918)	0.042
	High adherence	0.033 (0.002, 0.442)	0.010	Ref.	0.077 (0.059, 0.999)	0.050

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.

^aaAdjusted for gestational age.

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

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