Association between prepregnancy BMI and systolic blood pressure course during pregnancy, with maternal lipids Model 1 – crude model; model 2 –adjusted for: maternal age, education, ethnicity, parity, smoking and alcohol use during pregnancy and sex of the foetus; model 3 –adjusted for model 2 + individual lipids separately. TC = total cholesterol (mmol/L); ApoA1 = Apolipoprotein A1 (mg/dL); ApoB = Apolipoprotein B (mg/dL); TG = triglycerides (mmol/L); FFA = Free Fatty Acids (mmol/L) a) lipids were determined in non-fasting blood samples drawn at a median of 13 (IQR=12-14 ) weeks of gestation. 59 pBMI, lipids and BP during pregnancy
