Table 4.

Body composition measured by computed tomography and calculation of abdominal fat volume and converted to a weight/weight basis for each individual at adulthood

Measurement Dietary Groups
 P values
CC TC CT TT Diet (P) Diet (L) Interaction
Abdominal fat (% body weight) 12.15 ± 0.31 11.54 ± 0.36 11.15 ± 0.36 10.62 ± 0.42 0.52 0.01 0.39

Values are means ± SEM (n=10–18).

Two-way ANOVA analysis of diet exposure at each developmental stage with statistics for each effect and their interaction are shown. A significant effect of diet during breastfeeding is apparent with trans fatty acid exposure from neonatal growth persisting as leanness in early adulthood. No sex differences in body composition were observed.
