Fig. 4From: Mood and quality of life changes in pregnancy and postpartum and the effect of a behavioral intervention targeting excess gestational weight gain in women with overweight and obesity: a parallel-arm randomized controlled pilot trialAssociation between Overall Gestational Weight Gain and Change in Mental Health (SF-12 MCS) from early pregnancy to late pregnancy (Panel a), early pregnancy to 1–2 months postpartum (Panel b), and early pregnancy to 12 months postpartum (Panel c) and Physical Health (SF-12 PCS) from early pregnancy to late pregnancy (Panel d), early pregnancy to 1–2 months postpartum (Panel e), and early pregnancy to 12 months postpartum (Panel f). Data is presented as individual overall gestational weight gain versus change in SF-12 scores and was derived using repeated measures over time in a mixed effect linear model.
