Visual representation of the relationship between newborn cardiometabolic components (illustrated with diamonds) and the maternal/pregnancy variables associated with them (in rectangles).

Numbers beside the arrows represents the strength and direction of the relationship between the variable and the component. Variables within ovals “bridge” 2 components as they are loaded onto more than one component. All newborn traits were adjusted for gestational age and sex prior to principal component analysis. Blood pressure and body fat were also adjusted for age at time of measurement.
