  1. Ref = reference point for T treatment. The numbers in the top row denote age in months of T treatment
  2. 1Confidence intervals were estimated using the likelihood ratio, while P values were calculated using the Wald test. As a result, due to our small sample size and the estimated effect being very close to the 0.05 threshold, at times the confidence interval does not reject the null hypothesis. The P value threshold for statistical significance after Bonferroni correction for the number of CpG sites tested was 0.005
