Fetal sex-specific effect of maternal macronutrient intakes in trimester 1 on AORs for SGA birth1
| Male births (n = 1047) | Female births (n = 988) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dietary intakes | SGA, AOR (95% CI) | P | SGA, AOR (95% CI) | P |
| Energy, per 100 kcal/d | 0.99 (0.96, 1.02) | 0.56 | 1.00 (0.98, 1.03) | 0.91 |
| Carbohydrate, per 5% of energy | 1.15 (1.01, 1.32) | 0.04 | 0.97 (0.84, 1.12) | 0.72 |
| Protein, % of energy | 1.00 (0.88, 1.14) | 0.99 | 1.01 (0.89, 1.16) | 0.88 |
| Fat, per 5% of energy | 0.83 (0.71, 0.97) | 0.02 | 1.03 (0.88, 1.21) | 0.71 |

n = 2035. Multiple variable logistic regression was used with fetal sex-specific maternal macronutrient intakes and maternal age, education, parity, height, and weight at recruitment; fetal sex; and total energy intake as covariates. AOR, adjusted OR; SGA, small-for-gestational age.
