Data are no. of offspring with the outcome/no. of offspring assessed (% of offspring with the outcome). CI, confidence interval; RR, risk ratio; 1 Maternal vitamin D measured at enrollment; 2 Multivariate model for preterm birth outcome was adjusted for maternal age, body mass index (BMI), and gestational age (all at enrollment); all other multivariate models were adjusted for maternal age and BMI at enrollment, and gestational age at delivery; 3 p values are derived from log-binomial regression models; * Significant difference at p ≤ 0.05 level.
