Notes: The coefficients (β) and standard errors (SE) are estimated from OLS regressions of birth weight (grams), gestational age (weeks), and fetal growth weight (birth weight divided by gestational age) on the ancestry indicator(s) controlling for year of birth dummies; separate regressions are estimated per country. The Reference Group is the omitted category in each country analysis, which had to vary between some countries depending on the ancestry composition of each country’s sample and group sizes. Ancestry groups not included in analyses are noted by “-“.
