| African American | 87 (14.45) | 2.55 (1.48, 4.39) | 2.23 (1.28, 3.87) |

| African American | 80 (13.29) | 1.89 (1.12, 3.19) | 1.70 (1.01, 2.89) |

a The lowest tertile of adiponectin (≤12.85 µg/mL for entry and ≤10.35 µg/mL for 3rd trimester) and the highest tertile of resistin (≥52 ng/mL for entry and ≥53 ng/mL for 3rd trimester) were combined vs. other tertiles, using Caucasians as reference; b Model 1: Adjusted for age, parity and cigarette smoking; c Model 2: Additionally adjustment for pre-pregnant BMI.
