Associations between fetal and infant growth parameters and DNA methylation.

Results from linear mixed model analyses with DNA methylation as dependent variable and the fetal growth parameters as independent variables. Results are presented for the whole study population and stratified for SGA/AGA. Analyses were performed with square-root transformed methylation data and values are presented as regression coefficients (95% confidence interval).
1Crude values are adjusted for the correlations between CpG sites, bisulphite batch, and gestational age.
2Adjusted values were additionally adjusted for maternal characteristics (age, educational level, parity, BMI, folic acid supplement use, smoking and the occurrence of preeclampsia) and fetal gender.
