Differences in mid-gestational glucose concentrations (mg/dL) associated with interquartile (25th to 75th) changes of each first-trimester metal concentration, with all other metals fixed at their medians, estimated by Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression (BKMR). Results from 1311 women in Project Viva.
| Difference in glucose (mg/dL) (95% credible interval) | |
|---|---|
| Arsenic | −0.2 (−1.9, 0.8) |
| Barium | 1.3 (−1.2, 1.3) |
| Cadmium | −0.2 (−1.1, 0.5) |
| Cesium | −0.1 (−1.3, 0.6) |
| Copper | 0.0 (−1.0, 0.5) |
| Magnesium | 0.1 (−0.9, 0.5) |
| Manganese | −0.2 (−1.4, 0.6) |
| Lead | −0.5 (−1.6, 0.6) |
| Selenium | 0.5 (−1.5, 1.0) |
| Zinc | 0.2 (−1.1, 0.6) |
| Mercury | −0.6 (−2.0, 0.7) |
Note:
Models were adjusted for maternal age, self-identified race/ethnicity, pre-pregnancy BMI, GDM in prior pregnancy, smoking, maternal education, diabetes status of biological mother, and gestational week at blood collection for metals measurements.
