Unadjusted and adjusted analyses for each maternal variable are presented. RR: relative risk; ALA: alpha-linolenic acid; DHA: docosahexaenoic acid; EPA: eicosapentaenoic acid; LA: linoleic acid; AA: arachidonic acid. Beta derived from linear regression.
*Adjusted for parity and child’s sex and age.
