Box plots of average gestational SG-adjusted urinary phthalate metabolite or BPA concentrations according to trimester-specific tertiles. Surrogate measures (first, second, or third trimester) were divided into tertiles. The displayed values are the minimum (bottom whisker), 25th percentile (bottom of box), median (line in box), mean (diamond), 75th percentile (top of box), and maximum (top whisker) of the average gestational urinary phthalate and BPA concentrations. Limited to women with all three pregnancy urine samples. All concentrations are SG adjusted. Tertile cut points are available in Supplemental Table 1 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1104139). n = 77 for phthalate analysis; n = 91 for BPA analysis. DEHP metabolites: mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP), mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP), and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP).
