Erratum

Nohr EA, Vaeth M, Baker JL, Sørensen TIA, Olsen J, Rasmussen KM. Combined associations of prepregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain with the outcome of pregnancy. Am J Clin Nutr 2008;87:1750–9.

An incorrect version of Figure 1Go and its legend appeared on page 1756. The correct version of the figure and its legend appears below. In addition, the portion of the text in which this figure is discussed contains some erroneous numbers. In the first paragraph under "Possible trade-offs between mother and infant" (page 1754, right-hand column), the last 5 sentences should read as follows:

FIGURE 1.. Adjusted absolute risks for pregnancy outcomes according to prepregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain (GWG) categories. According to the World Health Organization, the categories are defined as follows: for BMI—small-for-gestational age (SGA): <10%; large-for-gestational-age (LGA): >90%; emergency cesarean section (CS) and postpartum weight retention (PPWR) of ≥5 kg; for GWG—low, <10 kg; medium, 10–15 kg; high, 16-19 kg; and very high, ≥20 kg. Points present the risks for a primiparous woman, aged 25–29 y, height 1.60–1.69, nonsmoker, no alcohol consumption, high social status, no exercise, and 280 d of gestation. For PPWR, she is breastfeeding for <14 wk. Of 58 342 (SGA and LGA), 58 693 (PPWR), and 54 810 (emergency CS) women, 4% were underweight (BMI < 18.5), 69% were normal-weight (BMI 18.5–24.9), 19% were overweight (BMI 25–29.9), and 7% were obese (BMI ≥ 30).

 
The similar risk reductions for normal-weight, overweight, and obese women were only 16%, 9%, and 5%, respectively. The opposite pattern was seen for LGA and caesarean section during delivery. Here, an underweight woman increased her absolute risk by only 5% by moving from low to very high GWG. For the other BMI groups, the similar increase in absolute risk was 6–9% for normal-weight, 6–11% for overweight, and 11–13% for obese women. The absolute risk of postpartum weight retention in relation to GWG did not differ significantly across BMI groups.
