Table 3 Quantile g-computation estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the mean difference in newborn and parental telomere length (T/S ratio) for a one quartile increase in the overall mixture of adverse built environment and psychosocial stressors.

  1. Models control for parental age, race and ethnicity, education, pre-pregnancy BMI, and gestational age (newborn T/S only). When restricting to paired samples, models of newborn T/S additionally control for parental T/S.
  2. aSample sizes are lower than in Table 2 because the sample was restricted to participants with complete exposure data for built environmental and psychosocial stressor variables.
