Performing a logistic regression investigating CETP activity at 36–38 weeks comparing SGA vs. AGA infants, and adjusting for age, fetal sex, GDM, preeclampsia and BMI, we found almost a two times higher risk of giving birth to SGA infants when the CETP activity at 36–38 weeks decreased 1 log per standard deviation (Fig. 4B). Here, CETP is linked to preeclampsia.
