Biochemical Status of Multiple Concurrent Micronutrients in Pregnant Adults Across Seven U.S. States: Findings From an Observational Cross-Sectional Study

Objectives: Previous reports of prenatal micronutrient status have mainly focused on individual nutrient deficiencies, with less emphasis on concurrent nutrient insufficiencies. The present study examined the proportion of pregnant women with low biochemical status in multiple micronutrients and relationships between aggregated low nutrient status and maternal characteristics.
