Mineral concentrations in human milk from control (
) and intervention (
) groups in New Zealand in the NiPPeR study during 12 months of lactation: (A) calcium, (B) copper, (C) iodine, (D) iron, (E) magnesium, (F) manganese, (G) phosphorus, (H) potassium, (I) selenium, and (J) sodium. Data are the least-squares means (i.e., adjusted means) for each group adjusted for visit, a group*visit interaction term, adherence, maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index, and gestational age at birth; error bars represent the respective 95% confidence intervals. **p < 0.01 for the difference between intervention and control at a given time point. The number of HM samples per group analyzed at a given time point are provided in the tables below the x axes.
