The result was not reported if none of the coefficient of pesticide variable was statistically significant. The confounders were included but not reported. Please see Table S8 for more information. MSCV: sensory conduction velocity of the median nerve; USCV: sensory conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve; USNAP: sensory nerve action potential amplitude of the ulnar nerve; CI: confidence interval. **p < 0.01, and *p < 0.05.
