Timing of famine exposure during gestation, IGF2 DMR methylation, and birth weight
| Periconceptional exposure | Late gestational exposure | All controls | |
|---|---|---|---|
| n | 60 | 62 | 122 |
| Males, % | 46.7 | 45.2 | 45.9 |
| Mean age, years | 58.1 (SD, 0.35) | 58.8 (SD, 0.4) | 57.1 (SD, 5.5) |

| Average | 0.488 (SD, 0.047) | 0.514 (SD, 0.045) | 0.517 (SD, 0.047) |
| Pvs all controls | 1.5 × 10−5 | .69 | |

P values were obtained using a linear mixed model and adjusted for age.
