1Multivariable model for logistic regression and linear regression models both adjusted for weeks of gestation at delivery, physical activity, prepregnancy BMI, maternal age, educational level, fetal sex, and marital status. P values for interaction by maternal prepregnancy BMI for inadequate GWG: by fruits/vegetables, Pint = 0.88; added sugar, Pint = 0.20; percentage energy from fat, Pint = 0.79; and dairy, Pint = 0.85. P values for interaction by maternal prepregnancy BMI for excessive GWG: by fruits/vegetables, Pint = 0.32; added sugar, Pint = 0.25; percentage energy from fat, Pint = 0.22; and dairy, Pint = 0.22. GWG, gestational weight gain.
