Table 2.

Results of statistical models to assess the association between measures of taxonomic composition (Unweighted UniFrac, Weighted UniFrac and Bray-Curtis distance metrics) and metabolic measures, including HFF, BMI z-score, waist circumference, and HOMA-IR (homeostasis model of insulin resistance). Adjusted models controlled for the following covariates: sex, race/ethnicity, age, parental education, delivery method at birth and in utero exposure to diabetes.
