Note: This table shows five separate regression analyses (with rows indicating predictors, and columns indicating outcomes). Each of these five separate regression models are adjusted for the following covariates: child gestational age (in weeks) and birth weight (grams), child age at assessment, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, race/ethnicity, maternal NIH Toolbox measures, education, active smoker status, parity, delivery type, and days of blood draw. Bold values indicate statistically significant associations found at the p-value threshold < 0.05.
