Supplementary Material
The table depicts the difference in mean birthweight with regard to placental malaria infection status, gravidity and age. Effect sizes are provided for each factor considered separately: Infection, gravidity, age or interactively: gravidity* age, gravidity*Infection. In general infection and primigravidity produces major birthweight differences as compared to no infection and multigravidity. Interpretation of this data becomes, however, complicated due to interactions between gravidity and age. Mean difference in birthweight seem to increase more in aging primigravidae than in aging multigravidae.
