Bolded estimates denote p ≤ 0.05. * All models adjusted for physical activity, education level, parity, household income, race-ethnicity, age at delivery, pre-pregnancy BMI, and total energy intake. 1 Maximum score is 100. Higher score indicates better alignment with dietary recommendations. Good-quality diet was defined by the 75th percentile or higher (≥78.7). 2 Maximum score is 40. Higher score indicates better alignment with dietary recommendations. Good-quality diet was defined by the 75th percentile or higher (≥28). 3 Maximum score is 8. Higher score indicates better alignment with dietary recommendations. Good-quality diet was defined by the 75th percentile or higher (≥6). 4 No maximum score. Lower score indicates less inflammatory diet. Good-quality diet was defined by the 25th percentile or lower (≤−0.20).
