  1. “n” denotes number, %TE denotes percentage of total energy. Simple Linear Regression was used in this analysis and only statistically significant associations were included in this table. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. There were no statistically significant associations with neonatal thigh skinfold thickness, therefore this variable is not included in the above table.
  2. Abbreviations: 1BMI, body mass index; 2SFA, saturated fatty acids; 3PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; 4circ, circumference.
