Relationship between maternal lipid profile during the third trimester and the risk of small-for-gestational-age birth: exploring inadequate gestational weight gain as a mediator

An increased risk of SGA was associated with high maternal HDL-C levels. The combination of low TG and high HDL-C levels was identified as a significant predictor of SGA. iGWG did not explain these associations.
