Estimated regression coefficients of child phthalate metabolites and FT4 levels at age 3 in boys (squares) and girls (diamonds). The x-axis represents the change in FT4 level associated with a log unit increase in phthalate metabolite.
MEHP=mono(2-ethylhexyl phthalate), MEHHP=mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate, MnBP=monon-butyl phthalate, MBzP=monobenzyl phthalate, MiBP=mono-isobutyl phthalate, MEP=monoethyl phthalate. MEOHP=mono(2-ethyl-5-oxy- hexyl) phthalate, MECPP=mono-2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl phthalate,
