Triglycerides changes during pregnancy in a sample of 199 women and their newborns followed at a public health centre in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil, 2009–2012. (A) Change per gestational week. (B) Change per gestational week according to birth weight categories. Note: The models were adjusted for age, education, smoking habit, pre-pregnancy leisure time physical activity, pre-pregnancy energy intake, glycaemia, parity, early pregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain and quadratic gestational age. Data are presented as linear mixed effect coefficient (β) and 95% CI. p-value refers to the maximum likelihood estimator. (A) Linear gestational age: β = 3.52 (3.26; 3.78), p < 0.001. (B) SGA or AGA - Linear gestational age: β = 3.45 (3.16; 3.74), p < 0.001. LGA - Linear gestational age: β = 3.79 (3.23; 4.35), p < 0.001.
