^aAdjusted for age and BMI.

^bFree testosterone estimated using equation by Vermeulen et al. 1999.

^cPentaBDE is sum of BDE 47, 99 and 100. IQR = 2268 ng/g for n=38 and 2985 ng/g for n=60.

^dOctaBDE is sum of BDE 183 and 201. IQR = 39 ng/g.

^eDecaBDE is sum of BDE 206, 207, 208 and 209. IQR = 1876 ng/g.

^fIncludes additional 24 samples from prior preliminary analysis, and models are also adjusted for difference in dust analytical method.
