Table 3.
Univariable and multivariable repeated linear regression analyses between prenatal exposure to BPACB and SD scores of fetal weight and fetal head circumference among 219 pregnant women.
| Variable | Fetal weight unadjusted β (95% CI) | Fetal weight adjusted β (95% CI) | Fetal head circumference unadjusted β (95% CI) | Fetal head circumference adjusted β (95% CI) |

| BPACB, creatinine based total BPA concentration. Beta coefficient represents the average decline/increase in SD score of fetal weight or fetal head circumference per gestational week. The adjusted model contains the following covariates: maternal age, educational level, ethnicity, fetal sex, weight before pregnancy, height at intake, smoking during pregnancy, alcohol use during pregnancy, folic acid use, and parity. *p < 0.05. | ||||
