Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval, T, testosterone.

a

Adjusted for SG, age, BMI, current smoking status, and time of day of blood/urine sample collection.

b

Model included ln-transformations for parabens and hormones; inhibin B, testosterone, free T, E2, free T4, and total T3 were modeled untransformed.

c

Models for T also adjusted for ln-transformed SHBG.
