Estimated associations [βs (95% CIs)] of in utero exposure to tobacco smoke with lipids, apoB, and CRP among adult women from the base sample (n = 479).

| Associations are expressed as the percent difference in the geometric mean for logn-transformed outcomes (mg/dL triglycerides and mg/L CRP) or the difference in mean values (mg/dL of HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, and ApoB) in the exposed compared with the unexposed group. | |||||||||||||||
