Adjusted beta coefficients for neonatal fat mass, g, in association with individual and subclasses of maternal plasma phospholipid PUFAs and PUFA ratios per standard deviation increase at four visits during pregnancy. AA, arachidonic acid; ALA, alpha-linolenic acid; CI, confidence interval; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; DGLA, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid; DPA, docosapentaenoic acid; DTA, docosatetraenoic acid; EDA, eicosadienoic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; FDR, false discovery rate; GDM, gestational diabetes mellitus; GLA, gamma-linolenic acid; LA, linoleic acid; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid; Δ5-desaturase, AA/DGLA; Δ6-desaturase, GLA/LA; Risk estimates were adjusted for maternal age (continuous), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander), education (high school or less, some college/associate degree, 4-year college degree or higher), nulliparity (yes/no), pre-pregnancy body mass index (<25.0, 25.0–29.9, 30.0–34.9, 35.0–44.9 kg/m2), gestational weight gain up to the respective visit (continuous), gestational week at blood collection (continuous), and number of days post-delivery when neonatal length and skinfolds were measured (continuous). * Significant associations after FDR-adjustment (p < 0.05).
