From: Assessing newborn body composition using principal components analysis: differences in the determinants of fat and skeletal size

Figure 3

Figure 3a shows the mean difference and 95% confidence intervals for birth skeletal size and birth fat components, expressed as standard deviations, for babies born to primips compared with babies born to multips, boys and girls shown separately. Fig. 3b shows the mean difference and 95% confidence intervals for birth skeletal size and birth fat components, expressed as standard deviations, for babies born to smoking mothers, compared with non-smoking mothers, boys and girls shown separately. Birth component score is an internally derived standard deviation score from the principal components analysis.
