^aCorrelations shown are standardized correlation coefficients from the regression of cord blood measures on the birth, pregnancy or pre-pregnancy measure with adjustment for significant covariates. Covariates considered were diabetic status (DM), gender, gestational age at birth (Gage), mode of delivery (mode), maternal age and parity. Significant covariates are indicated in italic font
^bLeptin and PEDF were log transformed for analysis. (p ≤ 0.05 in bold)
