Table 3.

Association of a doubling in estimated serum-PFAS concentration at three different infancy ages with a change (in %) in serum concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, and resistin at 9 years, with confidence intervals (CI) and probability (p) values, also for sex interaction in the 298 members of the birth cohort.
