Association of combination of low adiponectin and high resistin with ethnicity a.
| Ethnic Group | Unadjusted | AOR (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | n (%) | Model 1 b | Model 2 c |
| African American | 87 (14.45) | 2.34 (1.63, 3.36) | 2.19 (1.52, 3.17) |
| Hispanic | 55 (7.08) | Reference | Reference |
| Caucasian | 18 (7.06) | 0.92 (0.52, 1.62) | 0.98 (0.56, 1.74) |
| 3rd trimester | |||
| African American | 80 (13.29) | 1.89 (1.31, 2.71) | 1.83 (1.27, 2.63) |
| Hispanic | 58 (7.46) | Reference | Reference |
| Caucasian | 20 (7.84) | 1.00 (0.58, 1.72) | 1.07 (0.62, 1.86) |
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 Hispanics as reference; b Model 1: Adjusted for age, parity and cigarette smoking; c Model 2: Additionally adjustm ent for pre-pregnant BMI.
