Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDLc, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDLc, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; apo, apolipoprotein; NEFA, non-esterified fatty acid; hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; IL-10, interleukin 10.

a

Based on least squares regression models: dependent variables are individual biomarker changes postprandial (%Δ), independent variables are BMI or percent body fat, respectively. All models are controlled for clustering at the household level (by mother’s ID) by generating cluster-robust estimates of the variance matrix. F-statistic in least squares regression: * P-value < 0.05, ** P-value < 0.01, *** P-value < 0.001.

b

Model 1 is adjusted for age at the time of data collection (year) and sex (female/male).

c

Model 2 is adjusted for age at the time of data collection (year), sex (female/male), socio-economic status at the time of data collection (tertiles), Guatemala City residency (reside in Guatemala City/Other), current alcohol consumption (yes/no), current smoking status (yes/no), lipid-lowering medication (yes/no), village of birth (one in four villages), and parity (women only).
