a

The exposure assessment was based on the log2-transformed scale.

b

The exposures were dichotomized based on mean value of the log2-transformed PFAS feature intensities of all study population (N = 1390).

c

The crude model was adjusted for birth year (matching factor).

d

The adjusted model was adjusted for birth year (matching factor), maternal age, maternal race and ethnicity, maternal birthplace, maternal education attainment, census tract SES.

e

The adjusted model was adjusted for birth year (matching factor), maternal age, maternal race and ethnicity, maternal education attainment, census tract SES.
