Abbreviation: aOR Adjusted odds ratio, CI confidence interval, TOX Toxoplasma gondii, CMV Cytomegalovirus, RV Rubella virus, IgG Immunoglobulin G, IgM Immunoglobulin M
Notes:
1) aORs were calculated by multivariate logistic regression after adjusting for age, ethnicity, educational attainment, occupation, residential address, and study year
2) IgG+/IgM- indicated that the participant had been previously infected with pathogens, IgM+/(IgG- or IgG+) indicated that the participants had recently been infected with the pathogens
3) Anti-RV IgG + by natural infection was conducted among women who reported not having RV vaccination
4) The reference groups of aOR were intra-provincial migrant women and migrant women with native spouses, respectively
