WC: waist circumference; support GP: general practitioner confirmed active support for the recall register; received screening in early postpartum: between 6 and 12 weeks after the delivery; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; values: global for the variable as a whole; contrast for difference between 2 categories; HR > (<)1 means higher (lower) risk for the first category.
