^Δ

Regression coefficient: consumption considered as a continuous variable. β corresponds to the increase of the variable for an increase of 1 SD of the intake consumed per day (1 SD = 6.2%, 6.2% for Lipid and 2.4%, 2.4% for PUFA, before and during pregnancy respectively)

Models adjusted for centre, mother’s age and height, smoking habits, parity, gestational age, newborn’s sex and delay between birth and anthropometric measures
