  1. BMI Body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), SGA Small for gestational age (defined as birth weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age), AGA Appropriate for gestational age (the measure between the 10th and 90th percentiles for gestational age), LGA Large for gestational age (defined as birth weight above the 90th percentile for gestational age). Preterm birth was defined as delivery occurring before 37 weeks of gestation
