For continuation versus noncontinuation, the weighted prevalence ratios were 1.29 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.82 to 2.06), 1.08 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.84 to 1.40), and 1.21 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.83 to 1.82) for small for gestational age, large for gestational age, and MCM, respectively
