Figure 1.
Partial residual plot from the additive model of diastolic BP among boys at age 15, showing the effect of the smoothed term for prenatal MeHg levels. The model also adjusts for maternal hypertension during pregnancy, and smoothed terms for birth weight, BMI, height, and age. The dashed lines are 2 times the pointwise standard error curves, and the vertical marks along the bottom show the distribution of MeHg.
