Abbreviations: LOD, limit of detection; NHANES; National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; NNAL, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol; SHS, secondhand smoke. aSerum cotinine categories were as follows: no (< 0.05 ng/mL), low (≥ 0.05 and < 0.268 ng/mL), and high (≥ 0.268 and < 14.6 ng/mL).bEstimates for report of maternal smoking during pregnancy are based on a different sample size due to missing information (n = 2,106). cUrinary NNAL categories were as follows: below LOD (< 0.001 ng/mL creatinine), low (≥ 0.001 and < 0.005 ng/mL creatinine), and high (≥ 0.005 and < 0.082 ng/mL creatinine). |
