allostatic load
Step 1 (Path c) = Association of maternal race on adverse CVD outcomes
(race predicting CVD)
Step 2 (Path a) = Association of maternal race on high allostatic load
(race predicting high allostatic load)
Step 3 (path b and c’) = Association of maternal race on adverse CVD
outcomes mediated by or adjusted for high allostatic load (race and high
allostatic load predicting CVD)
