Fig 1 Selection of PASTURE study population and participants for mRNA analyses. †Inclusion criteria: living on a farm with livestock, maternal age greater than 18 years, term delivery, no genetic disease in offspring, telephone connection, and sufficient knowledge of the country's language. ‡Selection criteria: pregnancy questionnaire was completed.

Fig 2 Adjusted association of farming/nonfarming during pregnancy and mRNA expression at birth expressed as geometric mean ratios and 95% CIs adjusted for maternal history of asthma or hay fever, sex, center (random), and maternal smoking during pregnancy. Fully adjusted multifactorial MANOVA of mRNA expression and farming P value = .041.

Fig 3 Adjusted association of child's farm milk consumption during first year of life and mRNA expression at year 1 expressed as geometric mean ratios and 95% CIs adjusted for farming, maternal history of asthma or hay fever, sex, center, maternal smoking during breast-feeding, solid food score, education, and duration of breast-feeding.
