Fig. 3: Factors associated with average protein concentration over the first 4 weeks of lactation (g/dl) in multivariate analysis.

Fig. 3

The average protein concentration was calculated based on pooled samples from weeks 1, 2 and 4 (n = 277). A, B Boxplots comparing mean concentration between groups by maternal age and presence of IUGR, with boxes outlined between the first and the third quartile, and a horizontal line in the median. The whiskers span between the 5th and the 95th centile. C Scatterplot showing average protein content over the first 4 weeks against gestational age at birth. Best-fit regression line with 95% CI is also shown.
