Associations between prenatal life events stress and AGD in multivariate models.*
| Female | Male | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AGD measurement | β coefficient† | Lower 95% | Upper 95% | p-value | β coefficient† | Lower 95% | Upper 95% | p-value |
| Shorter AGD measurement (F-AGD-AF|M-AGD-AS in mm) | 2.61 | 0.51 | 4.70 | 0.015 | −2.01 | −5.30 | 1.28 | 0.23 |
| Longer AGD measurement (F-AGD-AC|M-AGD-AP in mm) | 2.15 | −0.74 | 5.05 | 0.14 | −0.28 | −4.41 | 3.86 | 0.90 |
Models also include the following covariates: infant age, mother’s age, infant race, infant weight centile, and study center.
For infants born to couples reporting high life events stress (4+) versus infants born to couples reporting low life events stress (<4).
