Beta coefficients (95% credible intervals) per SD increase in natural log phthalate metabolite concentrations, adjusted for urine dilution and collection date; maternal race/ethnicity, age, education, work status, and smoking during pregnancy; maternal height and prepregnancy BMI; adequacy of gestational weight gain; breastfeeding; months of age and physical activity at follow-up; and child’s sex. aAssociations among children with at least one follow-up visit (n = 180) estimated in a multiple metabolite linear mixed-effects regression model. bAssociations among children with at least one follow-up visit (n = 180) estimated in a separate linear mixed-effects regression model for each metabolite. cAssociations among all children in the birth cohort with measured phthalate metabolite concentrations (n = 380) estimated in a multiple metabolite linear mixed-effects regression model using a selection model for potentially nonignorable missing outcome data.
