↵* A category of hyperglycaemia includes diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) and non-diabetes/IGT/IFG with elevated 1 h glucose levels (>8.6 mmol/l).
↵† Each OR is calculated from a model including gender, family history of diabetes, BMI, gestational age, birth weight and SGA/AGA (appropriate for gestational age).
BMI, body mass index; SGA, small for gestational age.
