ORs and P values for trend were calculated by multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, previous deliveries, prepregnancy BMI, highest maternal educational level, annual household income, marital status, alcohol intake, smoking status, physical activity, employment status, presence of congenital anomaly, child's sex, and use of EPA and/or DHA supplementation. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.

Details of fish are described in Tables 2 and 3, n–3 PUFAs in Supplemental Tables 1 and 2, n–6 PUFAs in Supplemental Tables 3 and 4, and n–6/n–3 PUFAs in Supplemental Tables 5 and 6.
