Fig. 3: Relationships observed between fetal growth trajectories and adult BMI, WC and hs-CRP.

From: Relationships between intrauterine fetal growth trajectories and markers of adiposity and inflammation in young adults

Fig. 3

Associations observed from linear mixed modeling (Model 1) between growth trajectories (A-Abdominal circumference, B-Femur Length and C-Head Circumference) and adult outcomes (BMI- Body mass index, WC waistcircumference, hs-CRP- high sensitivity C-reactive protein). Y-axes: Standard deviation scores or z-scores for AC, FL and HC. X-axes: Gestational age in weeks. Dashed lines (--) represent the reference trajectory group while solid-bold lines (–) represent those trajectory groups having a significant association with reference group. Minus sign (−) indicates a negative association while a plus sign (+) indicates a positive association.
