Relations between severity of ID in fetal-neonatal and infancy periods, and motor development tests at 9 months

	Late pregnancy iron status				Infancy iron status (9 months)

GLMSELECT model with age at testing and RCT group as covariate. Suggestive trends (p<0.10) and significant associations are reported (p<0.05).

Estimate: change in the developmental test score for each unit increase in the body iron (BI) or iron composite (IC).
