Relationship between maternal late-pregnancy maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D status and offspring asthma and wheeze at age 6 years

Univariable Model Final model
RR (95% CI) P-value n RR (95% CI) P-value n
Current doctor-diagnosed asthma at 6 years 0.97 (0.91, 1.04) 0.36 860 0.98 (0.92, 1.04) 0.56 836
Current wheeze at 6 years 0.98 (0.92, 1.03) 0.40 860 0.99 (0.94, 1.05) 0.76 833
Any wheeze at or before 6 years 1.00 (0.98, 1.01) 0.61 856 1.00 (0.98, 1.02) 0.95 823
Transient wheeze 1.00 (0.98, 1.02) 0.85 719 1.00 (0.98, 1.02) 0.89 707
Persistent/late wheeze 0.98 (0.93, 1.03) 0.37 489 0.98 (0.94, 1.03) 0.49 475
 Persistent/late wheeze with atopy 0.90 (0.81, 0.99) 0.03 257 0.91 (0.84, 0.99) 0.04 251

Data presented as change in relative risk per 10 nmol/l change in maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status at 34 weeks’ pregnancy.

Adjusted models: asthma - maternal education, maternal asthma, paternal asthma and paternal rhinitis; wheeze at age 6 - maternal education, maternal asthma, paternal rhinitis, pets in the home during the child’s infancy; wheeze at or before 6 years - maternal BMI, child’s gender, maternal education, maternal asthma, paternal asthma, maternal rhinitis; transient wheeze - maternal BMI, child’s gender, mother’s parity, maternal asthma, maternal rhinitis; Persistent/late - maternal education, smoking during pregnancy, maternal asthma, paternal asthma, maternal rhinitis; Persistent/late wheeze with atopy-child’s gender, maternal asthma, paternal asthma, paternal rhinitis, pets in the home during infancy; Persistent/late wheeze without atopy-maternal age, smoking during pregnancy, maternal asthma, paternal asthma, pets in the home during infancy.
