Estimated height (SDS)^a of the boys at different ages by prenatal exposure to p,p’-DDE (μg/g lipids), Tapachula, Mexico 2002-2005

Abbreviations: DDE, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene

Footnotes:

^a Height SDS was estimated from the adjusted model presented in Table 3 for the age range of the children during follow-up by categories of DDE. The predictions were done for boys with referent values in the variables included in the model (i.e. boys of non-smoking mothers, with >12 years of education, with median height (152.5 cm), recruited at the Social Security hospital, from the urban area, and with median gestational age at birth (40 wk)). Predicted values and corresponding standard errors at selected ages during follow-up are presented in Table 2a of the supplementary material. Reference line at 15.7 months reflects the differences estimated with the main effect terms from the adjusted model in Table 3.
