A structural equation model predicting infant length-for-age z scores is shown in figure 2 and table 6.
Exposure models predict that infants are unlikely to be exposed to doses this high (Baier-Anderson et al. 2006); however, infants may be more sensitive than adults to thyroid inhibition (Lawrence et al. 2000), thus raising the possibility of an effect on thyroid function in infants from background exposure to perchlorate.
Multivariate models predicting energy-adjusted intake indicated strong associations with age, ethnicity, income, day care/school attendance, Supplemental Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participation, region of residence, and female head of household's educational level.
With postpartum depression symptom levels in the model, only antenatal depression symptoms predicted infant negative affectivity (β = .45).45
Most prognostic discussion targeted predicted infant functional needs, for example, medications or feeding.
These patterns have predicted infant one-year attachment in two large community cohorts.
Several additional factors predicted infant temperament.
Other parameters of maternal condition, milk synthesis, and infant condition also predicted infant temperament.
The combined strategy would reduce symptomatic whooping cough cases by 95percentt, and would reduce cases in infants by 96percentt, compared with the current strategy, the models predicted.
Other models predict no effects.
Models predict trends in climate, not particular events.
