Abbreviations: AGD, anogenital distance; AGDac, long AGD measure (girls); AGDaf, short AGD measure (girls); AGDap, long AGD measure (boys); AGDas, short AGD measure (boys); CI, confidence interval; TCS, triclosan. All estimates are adjusted for weight for age standard deviation score and post-conceptional age (gestational age at birth + age of the child at the AGD measurements, days). aMedian (range) for osmolality-adjusted TCS quartiles (nanograms/milliliter(osm)) in boys: 1st = < LOD (< LOD to < 0.24), 2nd = 0.53 (0.24 to < 0.97), 3rd = 1.69 (0.97 to < 3.24), 4th = 17.8 (3.24 to 1,702); in girls: 1st = < LOD (< LOD to < 0.247), 2nd = 0.50 (0.247 to < 1.05), 3rd = 2.03 (1.05 to < 4.21), 4th = 103.1 (4.21 to 2,350). bp-Value for trend across TCS quartiles. cLog2-transformed TCS concentration. Median age at AGD measurements for boys, 3.3 months (range 2.3–6.2 months); for girls, 3.3 months (range 2.3–6.7 months).
