Race
 Black race 0.62 0.11, 1.12 0.02 −7.45% −14.44, −0.45 0.04
IGF1 methylation

Joint effects
 Black race - - - −5.68% −12.84, 1.49 0.12
 Methylation z-score - - - −2.70% −5.63, 0.24 0.07

1Modeled using standard multivariable linear regression; 2 IGF1 methylation z-score controlled for maternal age; 3gestational age-adjusted birth weight (aBW) controlled for maternal age, parity, and infant gender.
