Adiponectin 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 = 0.19 (0.03; 0.34), p = 0.018; Quadratic gestational age: β = −0.004 (−0.01; −0.0003), p = 0.033. (B) SGA or AGA - Linear gestational age: β = 0.21 (0.03; 0.39), p = 0.021; quadratic gestational age; β = −0.004 (−0.01; −0.0002), p = 0.042. LGA - Linear gestational age: β = 0.13 (−0.02; 0.29), p = 0.096; gestational age; β = −0.004 (−0.01; 0.0003), p = 0.031.
