EH, enamel hypoplasia; BMI, body mass index; iPTH, intact parathyroid hormone.

a

For continuous variables, the mean is shown with the standard deviation in parentheses.

b

For categorical variables, the count is displayed with the percent of the corresponding group in parentheses.

c

Maternal blood chemistries are means for the measures every 4 weeks from week 12 to week 36 of pregnancy.

d

Median 25(OH)D values for Deficient or Insufficient is <32 ng/mL and for Sufficient or Optimal is ≥ 32 ng/mL.

e

Child EH Extent Group totals 140 as 5 children had missing data for a region and were not assigned an extent score.
