Adjusted OR with 95% CI are shown in the text, mean gestational age and preterm birth rate were adjusted for maternal age, birth order, employment status as indicator of socioeconomic status, drug treatment, and folic acid/multivitamin supplement, while mean birth weigh and low birthweight rate were adjusted for the above confounders plus gestational age.
