Table 2. Relationship between adiponectin, leptin, and size (birth weight and BMI) in children from birth to 9 years of age (N = 80).

	Beta1 (p)	r2
Birth Weight - A0	0.01 (0.47)	0.08
BMI2 - A2	−2.91 (0.03)	−0.24
BMI5 - A5	−2.33 (0.01)	−0.28
BMI9 - A9	−2.06 (<0.001)	−0.42
Birth Weight - L0	0.001 (<0.001)	0.46
BMI2 - L2	0.05 (<0.001)	0.52
BMI5 - L5	0.07 (<0.001)	0.73
BMI9 - L9	0.09 (<0.001)	0.78

A - adiponectin, L - log₁₀(leptin). BMI - body mass index (kg/m²).

A₀, L₀ - at birth, A₂, L₂ - at 2 years, A₅, L₅ - at 5 years, A₉, L₉ - at 9 years.

¹Linear regression coefficient.

²Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
