Abstrakt: | Background & Aims: Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation has been shown to have beneficial effects on birth outcomes and may improve child development. However, whether there is an effect of antenatal micronutrient supplementation strategies on offspring socioemotional outcomes remains unknown. We aimed to examine the effect of antenatal folic acid (FA), iron-folic acid (IFA), and multiple micronutrient (MMN) supplementation on adolescent emotional and behavioral outcomes. Methods: We conducted a double-blind, cluster-randomized trial of antenatal micronutrient supplementation in rural western China between 2002 and 2006. Pregnant females were randomized by village to receive either daily (i) 400 μg FA, (ii) IFA containing 60 mg iron and 400 μg FA or (iii) MMN supplementation containing 30 mg iron, 400 μg FA plus 13 additional vitamins and minerals. A 14-year follow-up of their offspring was conducted in 2016. Adolescents were administered the locally adapted Youth Self-Report-2001 (YSR-2001) which produced internalizing, externalizing, and total behavior problem scores. We applied generalized estimating equations to assess the effect of the randomized regimens on YSR-2001 scores and explored the potential effect modification by household wealth and initial timing and duration of supplementation. Results: A total of 1920 adolescents were included in the analysis, 1130 (58.9%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 11.8 (0.78) years. Adolescents in IFA group had lower total (mean difference (MD): -2.89; 95% CI -5.73, -0.04) and externalizing (MD: -0.97; 95% CI -1.79, -0.15) problem scores as compared to those in FA group. There was no effect of MMN on behavior problem scores as compared to IFA and FA alone. Although, in effect modification analyses, MMN appeared to have greater beneficial effects in wealthier households than IFA and FA alone. Conclusions: Iron supplementation during pregnancy reduced adolescent emotional and behavioral problem scores which provides additional support for expanding coverage of iron-containing prenatal supplements in resource-limited settings.
