Fig. 1

Odds ratios of gestational diabetes and high (defined as above 1 SD above the mean) HOMA-IR, average of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and MetS score per 1 SD difference in body composition and physical fitness variables measured in early pregnancy. Binary logistic regression was used to estimates odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Adjusted model included age, educational attainment and parity as well as cardiorespiratory fitness, handgrip strength, FMI, and FFMI (models with BMI and % FM did not include FMI and FFMI). BMI body mass index, CRF cardiorespiratory fitness, FM fat mass, FMI fat mass index, FFMI fat-free mass index, HGS handgrip strength, HOMA-IR homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance, MetS score Metabolic Syndrome score.
