EpiScores associated with socioeconomic status or an interaction between socioeconomic status and birth gestational age. EpiScores associated with socioeconomic status (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, maternal education, or maternal occupation), or with an interaction between socioeconomic status and birth gestational age. Regression models with gestational age at birth, gestational age at sample, birthweight z-score, sex, and methylation processing batch. Sample sizes: for the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation n = 331, for maternal education n = 323, and for maternal occupation n = 328. 3/104 EpiScores were significant (Bonferroni-adjusted p-value < 8.3 × 10⁻³). Points and bars represent standardised beta and 95% confidence intervals, with red indicating positive and blue negative associations.
