Fetal biometry and fetal growth according to tertiles of
iron intake levels
In the babies of mothers in the third tertile of iron intake
(>17.04 mg), biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference,
and femur length were lower by 0.41 cm (P =0.019),
0.41 cm (P = 0.027), and 0.07 cm (P = 0.051), respectively,
than the babies of mothers in the second tertile of iron intake
(11.49 ~ 17.04 mg) (after adjusting for confounding
factors) (Table 4)
