Associations between maternal consumption of micronutrients and risk of ALL among offspring, Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study, Berkeley, California, 1995–2002^a

^aIncludes 282 case-control sets comprising 205 pairs and 77 triplets

^bSeparate models for each nutrient as a continuous variable with odds ratios and 95% CIs calculated using log-transformed values of consumption; adjusted for total energy intake, household income, indoor insecticide exposure during pregnancy, and proportion of foods reported as large or extra-large portion size

^cNutrient estimates represent the sum of food and supplement sources. Nutrient estimates for variables without a footnote ^c reflect nutrients only from foods.

ALL = acute lymphoblastic leukemia

AOR = adjusted odds ratio

CI = confidence interval

RE = retinol equivalents

mcg = microgram

mg = milligram

aTE = alpha-tocopherol equivalents
