Pathway model for the determinants of newborn weight‐for‐age Z‐score (WAZ) and length‐for‐age Z‐score (LAZ). A structural equation model (structural equation modelling [SEM]), using variables that in regression analyses were associated with (p < .05) newborn size (green boxes) or defined intermediary variables (orange boxes). The predictor variables represent maternal nutrition (blue boxes), infections (yellow), or other constitutional variables (grey). The model χ²(36) = 117.92 (p < .001), N = 1,179 participants. Hb = haemoglobin; AGP = α‐1‐acid glycoprotein; BMI = body mass index
