Hazard ratios for diabetes per doubling of phthalate metabolite concentrations by race/ethnicity. The hazard ratios were adjusted for age in 1999-2000; site, education, and time-varying menopausal status; physical activity; smoking status; dietary energy intake; and BMI. ∑LMW phthalates; molar sum of MEP, MnBP, and MiBP; ∑DEHP, molar sum of MEHP, MEHHP, MEOHP, and MECPP; ∑HMW phthalates, molar sum of MEHP, MEHHP, MEOHP, MECPP, MBzP, MCOP, MCNP, and MCPP.
Abbreviations: DEHP, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; HMW, high molecular rate; LMW, low molecular rate; MBzP, monobenzyl phthalate; MCNP, mono-carboxy-isononyl phthalate; MCPP, mono(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate; MCOP, mono-carboxyoctyl phthalate; MECPP, mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate; MEHP, mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; MEHHP, mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate; MEOHP, mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate; MEP, mono-ethyl phthalate; MnBP, mono-n-butyl phthalate.
