Gender mix: does it modify birthweight--outcome association?

abstract：:Several investigators have reported a 40% increase in the prevalence of twinning among women who have taken folic acid or multivitamins containing folic acid at the time of conception. Given that infant morbidity and mortality are greatly increased among twins, such a large increase in twinning could have serious impl...
