Figure 3.

Plot indicating beta coefficients (left y-axis) and beta coefficients for full score (right y-axis) for a 0.1 μg per gram Hb increase in erythrocyte Se at GW14, for boys and girls across verbal comprehension (p for difference between estimates equals 0.30), perceptual reasoning (p equals 0.84), working memory (p equals 0.078), processing speed (p equals 0.96), and full developmental score (p equals 0.42) (x-axis).

Estimates (B-coefficient) and 95% confidence interval (CI) (straight line) for associations between all outcomes at 10 y and erythrocyte selenium (Se) [per 0.1μg/g hemoglobin (Hb)] at gestational week (GW) 14, stratified by gender (n=671 girls and 737 boys). p-Value for difference between estimates (Wald test). Adjustments: gestational age at birth, age at testing, mothers’ cognitive function assessed at 5 y, number of children in the family, height-for-age z-score (HAZ), modified version of Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment score (HOME), testers, school type and years of schooling, family socioeconomic status (SES), and paternal education (all assessed at 10 y).
