Significant pathways of the factors of infant Bayley Cognitive scores at 6 months of age.
Single-headed arrows represent statistically significant directional paths (only significant paths were presented, for more details see Table 3). Path coefficients are interpreted as regression coefficients. IDA: iron deficiency anemia; CMD: common mental disorders; WAZ: infant weight-for-age Z-score.
