a

“Rarely” indicates one time window only (preconception, first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy, first, second, and third year of life) and fewer than five times; “Frequently” indicates other combinations.

b

p-Value obtained when entered as a continuous variable in the model (calculated only when risk estimates showed a pattern consistent with a linear dose–response relationship).

c

“Rarely” indicates four time windows or fewer (preconception, first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy, first, second, and third year of life), and fewer than five times in each; “Frequently” indicates other combinations.
