Notes: OR = odds ratios; aOR = adjusted odds ratio; eb = antilogarithm of regression coefficient, interpreted as the proportional increase (if >1) or decrease (if <1) in outcome variable associated with a 1-unitincrease in independent variable; CI = confidence interval; p = p value; BMI = body mass index. Model 1: Only adjusted for wear time (accelerometer-based only). Model 2: Model 1 + covariates. Model 3: Model 2 + 1st trimester FPG. (i) Estimates are obtained from logistic regression. (ii) Estimates are obtained from general linear model. (iii) Covariates include wear time, gestational week, age, education attainment, household monthly income, employment status, primipara, in vitro fertilisation, miscarriage history, pre-pregnancy BMI. (vi) Covariates include gestational week, age, education attainment, household monthly income, employment status, primipara, in vitro fertilisation, miscarriage history, pre-pregnancy BMI. * p < 0.050, ** p < 0.010. To avoid confusion, more than three decimal digits are reported (as 1.000 would have been shown if the estimate was rounded to three decimal digits).
