Comparison of the Association of BMI on Metabolic Markers of Cardiovascular Risk in Persons with Low vs. Normal Birth Weight, The Bogalusa Heart Study, 1973–2001
| Outcome | Coefficient of BMI (95% CI)a | |
|---|---|---|
| <2,500 g | ≥2,500 g | |
| HOMA-IR | 2.7 (1.2, 4.1) | 2.6 (2.4, 2.8) |
| Triglycerides (mg/dL) | 2.3 (0.3, 2.9) | 4.1 (3.5, 4.5) |
| Total cholesterol (mg/dL) | 0.8 (0.0, 1.8) | 1.8 (1.5, 2.0) |
| LDL-cholesterol (mg/dL) | 0.6 (−0.1, 1.3) | 1.7 (1.4, 1.9) |
| HDL-cholesterol (mg/dL) | −0.1 (−0.4, 1.7) | −0.5 (−0.6, −0.4) |
BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; HDL-cholesterol = High density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR = homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance; LDL-cholesterol = Low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
