aAdjusted for maternal age, BMI, SES, hemoglobin at gestational week 14, urinary As at gestational week 8, and betel use (never/ever) and infant season of birth (premonsoon, monsoon, and postmonsoon) and gestational age (< 37 weeks = 1; ≥ 37 weeks = 0). Estimates for boys and girls combined were also adjusted for sex. bp-Value after seemingly unrelated estimation, to adjust for conducting multiple tests on correlated outcomes. cp-Value for the interaction term between maternal urinary Cd and sex (described in text).
