Models adjusted by cohort, smoking during pregnancy, alcohol intake during pregnancy, pre-pregnancy BMI, social class, sex and age of the child, living with mother/father and weeks (ferritin extraction). Gipuzkoa and Sabadell models do not include the variable “lives with mother/father”. *1 Count model coefficients (Poisson with log link). *2 Zero-inflation model coefficients (binomial with logit link). ** p for the trend between tertiles.
