Biomarker concentration evaluation in early infant feeding and birthweight (AGA vs LGA).

Unadjusted analysis for infant feeding
	Early fed n = 149	Not early fed n = 187	P-value*
Leptin, ng/mL	5.8 (4.6 - 6.7)	5.6 (4.2 - 6.6)	0.50
Adiponectin, μg/mL	6.4 (5.4 - 8.1)	6.4 (5.1 - 8.8)	0.85
Unadjusted analysis for birthweight
	AGA n = 293	LGA n = 43
Leptin, ng/mL	5.8 (4.5 - 6.6)	5.0 (3.6 - 6.0)	0.008
Adiponectin, μg/mL	6.4 (5.3 - 8.6)	6.3 (5.1 - 7.9)	0.49

Data are median (interquartile range).
