Mean lipid and lipoprotein concentrations were also similar in the subgroups. Women who gained too much weight during pregnancy had a higher rate of LGA than SGA babies, had higher glyocosylated hemoglobin levels and lower fibrinogen concentrations than the remaining groups. To define the relationship between LGA and lipid disorders ROC curve analysis was performed showing that HDL cholesterol \(100%\) and triglycerides \(88.9%\) were the most sensitive markers of LGA, but their specificity was low \(45% and 38.4%, respectively\). These results indicate that LGA but not normal birth weight can be very well predicted on the basis of lipid parameters. Prospective analysis to calculate the odds ratio \(OR\) of macrosomia showed that a 3\-fold increase in the risk of having an LGA baby in the presence of combined lipid disorders. The rate of lipid disorders in pregnancy based on ROC analysis was 62.1% for hypertryglyceridemia and 38.2% for low HDL cholesterol levels. After delivery glucose concentration in GCT, lipids and fibrinogen returned to normal and did not differ among the groups. Mothers delivering LGA babies had higher post\-delivery fasting glucose and at 2 hrs after GCT and higher HbA1 than women delivering SGA or normal birth weight babies. The pr"]
