Hazard ratios for diabetes per doubling of phthalate metabolite concentrations. Model 1: Crude model. Model 2: Adjusted for age in 1999-2000; race/ethnicity, site, education, and time-varying menopausal status; physical activity; smoking status; and dietary energy intake. Model 3: Model 2 + time-varying BMI. ∑LMW phthalates: molar sum of MEP, MnBP, and MiBP; ∑DEHP: molar sum MEHP, MEHHP, MEOHP, and MECPP; ∑HMW phthalates: molar sum of MEHP, MEHHP, MEOHP, MECPP, MBzP, MCOP, MCNP, and MCPP.
