Relative percentages of significant maternal anthropometric and metabolic variables/exposures in newborns with unfavorable outcomes. Frequencies of maternal key anthropometric and metabolic variables/exposures in newborns with unfavorable outcomes relative to respective reference groups (LGA/Macrosomia: Reference group consists of appropriate-for-gestational age and non-macrosomic infants; CB insulin/leptin: Reference group consists of all cases <90th percentiles) are shown. Significant differences are indicated as * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001. Abbreviations: LGA: Large-for-gestational age, CB: Cord-blood, BMI: Body-mass-Index, GWG: Gestational weight gain, FG: Fasting glucose, oGTT: Oral glucose tolerance test, HbA1c: Glycated hemoglobin A1c
