Maternal characteristics and delivery outcomes of recruited appropriate-for-gestational-age participants overall and comparison between infants with low- and normal-antenatal growth velocity.
Fig 1.
Infant (a) weight, (b) length, and (c) BMI z-scores converted to predicted mean z-scores and growth curves according to antenatal group. Each triangle represents an individual’s z-score at one of seven (birth or 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 or 24 months) timepoints at which measurements were performed. Lines represent the predicted mean growth for each of the 3 antenatal groups as plotted by linear spline regression. BMI body mass index; SGA small-for-gestational-age; AGA appropriate-for-gestational-age; FGR fetal growth restriction; NG normal antenatal growth.
Fig 2.
Comparison of predicted mean (a) weight, (b) length, and (c) BMI z-scores between antenatal groups. Data presented as predicted mean and 95% confidence intervals for each of the three groups at birth, and 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 and 24 months. Lines connecting the predicted mean z-scores for each group represent predicted mean postnatal growth trajectory as modelled by linear spline regression. BMI body mass index; SGA small-for-gestational-age; AGA appropriate-for-gestational-age; FGR fetal growth restriction; NG normal antenatal growth.

Comparison of predicted mean growth parameter z-scores between SGA, AGA-FGR and AGA-NG infants.
