Multiple logistic regression analysis for the associations of decreased adiponectin with ethnicity.
| Low Adiponectin a | Unadjusted n (%) | AOR (95% CI) Model 1 b | AOR (95% CI) Model 2 c |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | |||
| African American | 248 (41.2) | 2.07 (1.48, 2.89) | 1.86 (1.32, 2.63) |
| Hispanic | 235 (30.24) | 1.23 (0.90, 1.74) | 1.15 (0.82, 1.61) |
| Caucasian | 66 (25.88) | Reference | Reference |
| 3rd Trimester | |||
| African American | 258 (42.86) | 2.61 (1.85, 3.66) | 2.41 (1.70, 3.41) |
| Hispanic | 230 (29.60) | 1.43 (1.02, 2.00) | 1.34 (0.95, 1.89) |
| Caucasian | 59 (23.14) | Reference | Reference |
AOR, adjusted odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval, same in Table 4 and Table 5; a Low adiponectin was defined as the lowest tertile (≤12.85 µg/mL at entry and ≤10.35 µg/mL at 3rd trimester) as compared to tertiles one and two pooled; b Model 1: Adjusted for age, parity and cigarette smoking; c Model 2: Additional adjustment for pre-pregnant BMI.
