Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted for infant birth weight, infant sex, maternal age, maternal education level, family income, breast-feeding status, and residential area (plus maternal intelligence for subgroup analysis). aPrenatal maternal urinary concentrations were natural log-transformed. Urine samples with creatinine values > 20 mg/dL were used. bMDI or PDI scores per natural log change in micrograms per gram creatinine.
