Joint Effects of Prenatal Folic Acid Supplement with Prenatal Multivitamin and Iron Supplement on Obesity in Preschoolers Born SGA: Sex Specific Difference.

The results of the crossover analyses indicated that a maternal supplement of a combination of folic acid and multivitamin (AOR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.50~0.90), as well as maternal supplement of a combination of folic acid and iron (AOR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.52~0.96) significantly decreased the risk of obesity in preschoolers born SGA; while only maternal folic acid supplementation during pregnancy decreased the risk of obesity with significance (AOR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.55~0.97) in the crossover analysis on a combination of folic acid and multivitamin, and marginal significance (AOR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.57~1.04) in the crossover analysis on a combination of folic acid and iron, respectively.
