* AOR-a: adjusted odds ratios (with 95% confidence intervals, CI) calculated in the multidimensional logistic regression; the results were adjusted for: maternal age, maternal height, pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational age at birth (excluding gestational age in the study for FGR, as well as excluding BMI in the BMI category analyses); p-value was calculated in the Wald test (p < 0.05 was assumed as significant). NA: the lack of cases or controls; NA *: impossible to correct (small number of cases); BMI: body mass index (pre-pregnancy values): Underweight: <18.5 kg/m2, Normal BMI: 18.5–24.9 kg/m2, Overweight: 25.0–29.9 kg/m2; Obesity: ≥30 kg/m2; FGR: fetal growth restriction; LBW: birth weight <2500 g.
