Association of maternal lipid levels with birth weight and cord blood insulin: a Bayesian network analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the independent association of maternal lipid levels with birth weight and cord blood insulin (CBI) level.

Setting

The Born in Guangzhou Cohort Study, Guangzhou, China.

Participants

Women who delivered between January 2015 and June 2016 and with umbilical cord blood retained were eligible for this study.
