Note: All models were controlled for race and PFOA. Six months prior to thelarche was defined as 9 months prior to <3 months prior to thelarche. Thelarche defined as 3 months prior to <3 months after thelarche. Six months after thelarche was defined as 3 months after thelarche to <9 months after thelarche. Twelve months after thelarche was defined as 9 months after thelarche to <15 months after thelarche. Significant at p-value 0.05. BMIz, body mass index z-score based on 2000 CDC tables; CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; DHEAS, dihydroandrostendione sulfate; SE, standard error.
