Associations of Urinary Paraben Biomarker Concentrations with Ovarian Volume

  Butylparaben, %Δ (95% CI) Ethylparaben, %Δ (95% CI) Methylparaben, %Δ (95% CI) Propylparaben, %Δ (95% CI) ∑Parabens, %Δ (95% CI)
% Change in ovarian volume for every two-fold increase in paraben biomarker concentrations
Unadjusted 2.48 (−3.14 to 8.43) −4.10 (−8.86 to 0.92) −4.01 (−11.40 to 4.00) −3.67 (−9.00 to 1.97) −5.23 (−12.45 to 2.58)
Adjusted 2.52 (−2.86 to 8.21) −4.55 (−9.04 to 0.16) −4.28 (−11.35 to 3.36) −4.09 (−9.19 to 1.29) −5.67 (−12.54 to 1.75)

Linear regression models evaluating associations of parabens with ovarian volume. Adjusted models account for age at the baseline visit (continuous) and midlife body mass index (continuous).

Bold values indicate potentially meaningful findings.
