  1. 1Only women who attended antenatal care; 2All the analyses were adjusted for the following variables: region of residence, age, schooling level, skin color, conjugal situation, type of prenatal service, time when prenatal care started and adequacy of number of consultations for the gestational age; 3OR = odds ratio; 4CI = confidence interval; 5Pregnant women with East Asian or indigenous skin color were excluded from this analysis; 6Minimum of six consultations for a term pregnancy, adjusted for the gestational age at birth. Totals for these variables vary because of missing values.
