Fig. 2From: A novel approach to risk exposure and epigenetics—the use of multidimensional context to gain insights into the early origins of cardiometabolic and neurocognitive healthBar graph of the relative contribution of variables (x-axis) to maternal risk profile construction. While each risk profile has varying contributions from all eight risk-related variables, certain variables dominate the construction of a dimension. The bars represent the relative contribution of each variable to a given dimension. Contributions that exceed the grey vertical line (calculated as in [20]) belong to variables that are considered the most representative of a dimension (see Additional file 1). Colours show variables that exceed this threshold and will be used to refer to each dimension in subsequent figuresBack to article page
