| Specific gravity–adjusted bisphenol A at baseline, geometric mean (95% CI), µg/L | 1.8 (1.3–2.4) | 2.1 (1.4–3.3) | 1.3 (0.8–2.1)b |
a
One participant was excluded from final analyses because of high background exposure to bisphenol A from consuming 4 cans of cold beverage (had urinary-specific gravity–adjusted bisphenol A concentration 25-fold higher than the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2010 geometric mean of 1.83 µg/L6).
b
There was no statistically significant baseline difference for simulations with gloves vs without gloves (P = .76).
