Estimates are derived from logistic regression models adjusted for year of birth, sample month, and maternal characteristics: psychiatric disorders, age, body mass index, smoking, nutritional supplement use, and region of origin

aMaternal 25OHD values are estimated from a prediction model that corrects for different gestational ages at sampling

bEstimates for the subset of children born to Nordic mothers are adjusted for all of above except for maternal region of origin

cOdds ratio associated with a linear increase of 25 nmol/L in maternal or neonatal 25OHD
