Another regressi<strong>on</strong> model was c<strong>on</strong>structed to explore the associati<strong>on</strong>s between<br />

factors influencing endogenous synthesis and exogenous attainment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> vitamin D and<br />

ECC. This model included milk and margarine intakes during pregnancy, frequency <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

prenatal vitamins use, seas<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> blood sample collecti<strong>on</strong>, and the administrati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

vitamin D drops to the child during infancy (Table 5.14). Results revealed that <strong>on</strong>ly milk<br />

c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> was significantly associated with ECC with frequent milk intake reducing<br />

the risk for ECC (p=.024). This was also c<strong>on</strong>firmed through backwards logistic<br />

regressi<strong>on</strong> as drinking milk was the <strong>on</strong>ly variable remaining in the final iterati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />

model and was significantly associated with ECC (p=.026) (data not shown).<br />
