Data were collected by medical records for prenatal care, height and weight before pregnancy, plasma hemoglobin in the first tests of pregnancy, food security questionnaires (USDA), FFQ questionnaires and interview with mothers.

Median weight of mothers in the case group was significantly higher compared with the control group but quartile values for height, BMI, and anemia in the two groups had no significant difference. Height of mothers in the case group had significant inverse association with food insecurity and weight of mothers before pregnancy had close to meaningful association () with food insecurity only in the control group.Abnormal BMI before pregnancy had no significant association with planned pregnancy but by rising food insecurity increased abnormally BMI and anemia.
