Respective parameters at year-1
		Unadjusted analysis		Adjusted analysis
	N	β	P-value	β	P-value	Adjusted model r²
Birth weight	41	0.294	0.062	0.179	0.289	0.149; p = 0.085
Birth ponderal index	41	0.248	0.117	0.161	0.342	0.130; p = 0.109
SFT, week-1	41	−0.012	0.939	−0.082	0.666	−0.074; p = 0.746
SCA, week-1	36	0.006	0.863	−0.260	0.227	−0.260; p = 0.277
PPA, week-1	36	0.520	0.002	0.486	0.010	0.275; p = 0.027

β: standardized regression coefficient; PPA: preperitoneal adipose tissue; r²: coefficient of determination; SCA: subcutaneous adipose tissue; SFT: sum of the 4 skinfold thickness measurements (biceps + triceps + subscapular + suprailiac). Variables for adjusted analysis: infant sex, pregnancy duration, breastfeeding status at month-4, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, AUC _Glucose (OGTT) and gestational weight gain.
