Note: Each socioeconomic factor was modeled as the independent variable associated with HSD11B2 methylation extent as the dependent variable. Beta coefficents represent percent change in methylation per unit difference in socioeconomic adversity. Adjusted models control for maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, race, infant sex and birth weight percentile. n = 444; additional exclusions were made for poverty and cumulative risk score variables (n = 403).
