Effect of prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation compared to iron and folic acid on plasma concentrations of growth factors by maternal and fetal characteristics in rural Bangladesh, 2009–20101.

1 hPL, human placental lactogen; PGH, placental growth hormone; IGF-1, insulin like growth factor; IGFBP-1, insulin like growth factor—1 binding protein. For insulin, IGF-1, and IGFBP-1, n = 70 & 255 for height groups; n = 129 & 196 for BMI groups; n = 162 &163 for age groups; n = 120 & 205 for parity groups; and n = 174 for males and n = 151 for females.2 Mean difference in supplement groups from linear regression models with generalized estimating equations (GEE) to account for cluster randomization.3 p4 pEffect of prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation compared to iron and folic acid on plasma concentrations of growth factors by maternal and fetal characteristics in rural Bangladesh, 2009–20101.
