IBR, infant behavior record; MDI, mental development index; PDI, psychomotor development index; r, correlation coefficient. *r and aP values were adjusted according to maternal micronutrient supplementation (treatment), number of supplement tablets consumed, age of children at assessment, gestational week at delivery, infants’ birth weight, mother’s age at delivery, MUAC at delivery, maternal education level and occupation, paternal education level and occupation, household wealth, and primary caregivers of infant.
