and preterm birth, stratified by pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal age and
parity.

Figure 2. Relationship between ApoA-1, ApoB, ApoB/ApoA-1 and preterm
birth, fitted by restricted cubic splines. Odds ratio were estimated
using logistic regression model adjusting for maternal pre-pregnancy
BMI, age at delivery, parity, delivery mode, gestational diabetes
mellitus and infant sex. The solid line represents odds ratios and the
dash area are 95% confidence intervals. Four knots were located at 5th,
35th, 65th 95th percentiles of ApoA-1, ApoB, ApoB/ApoA-1.
