Table 4.

This is a summary of all 3 Appendix Tables D (which evaluate the risk of a Z-score ≤ −1 on the WIAT-III academic achievement assessment in light of top quartile concentrations of two proteins at a time for the late epoch). The inflammation-related protein is identified at the top of each set of columns, and the angio-neurotrophic proteins are identified on the left. A “V” in the cell indicates that a top quartile concentration of the angio-neurotrophic proteins (listed on the left) appeared to modulate the increased risk of the learning limitation (identified at the top of each column) associated with a top quartile concentration of the inflammation-related protein that heads each set of columns. The small ‘v’s in other cells indicate the same pattern of modulated risk, but with too few children to achieve statistical significance.
