BMI, Body Mass Index; F2-IsoPs, F2 Isoprostanes; AGA, Appropriate for Gestational Age; LGA, Large for Gestational Age; SGA, Small for Gestational Age.
Data are means ± standard deviation, minimum and maximum for continuous variables; absolute frequencies and percentage for categorical variables.
BMI before and at the end of pregnancy was calculated according to the standard definition [weight in kilograms divided by height in square meters (kg/m2)].
Newborns were subdivided in large (LGA), appropriate (AGA) and small for gestational age (SGA) according to respective national growth charts [16-18]. |
