Unadjusted and adjusted mean difference of maternal and umbilical cord leptin using regression model
| Dependent variable |
Unadjusted coefficient
mean difference ± SE |
p-value | Adjusted * coefficient mean difference ± SE | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maternal leptin (ng/ml) | 0.35±1.09 | 0.75 | -0.31±1.13 | 0.78 |
| Umbilical cord leptin (ng/ml) | -1.7 (±0.81) | 0.04 | -1.5±0.85 | 0.07 |
Mean difference±SE= Mean case – mean control ± Standard error.
