Maternal intake of pesticide residues from fruits and vegetables in relation to fetal growth

To examine the associations of maternal intake of fruits and vegetables (FVs), considering pesticide residue levels, with fetal growth. We studied 1777 mothers (1275 white, 502 non-white) and their infants from Project Viva, a prospective pre-birth cohort (1999–2002). We categorized FVs as containin...

Summary:To examine the associations of maternal intake of fruits and vegetables (FVs), considering pesticide residue levels, with fetal growth. We studied 1777 mothers (1275 white, 502 non-white) and their infants from Project Viva, a prospective pre-birth cohort (1999–2002). We categorized FVs as containing high or low pesticide residues using data from the US Department of Agriculture. We then used a food frequency questionnaire to estimate each participant's intake of high and low pesticide residue FVs in the first and second trimester. The primary outcomes were small-for-gestational-age (SGA;
