Nutrient’s factor loadings for the five maternal dietary patterns identified in the MEDIDIET study, using principal component factor analysis (PCFA). Estimates from PCFA performed on 31 maternal nutrient intakes. Each nutrient’s factor loading represents how strongly that nutrient is associated with dietary patterns. Nutrient’s factor loadings ≥0.63 represents “dominant nutrients” for each dietary pattern. AA: arachidonic acid; ALA: α-linolenic acid; DHA: docosahexaenoic acid; DPA: docosapentaenoic acid; EPA: eicosapentaenoic acid; LA: linoleic acid; MUFA: monounsaturated fatty acids; SFA: saturated fatty acids.
