Note: AGD-AC, anogenital distance from the anus to the clitoris; AGD-AF, anogenital distance from the anus to the fourchette; BPA, Bisphenol A; Max, maximum; Min, minimum; SD, standard deviation; SpG-adj, specific gravity–adjusted; UCSF, University of California, San Francisco; UMN, University of Minnesota; URMC, University of Rochester Medical Center; UW, University of Washington.

a

One infant did not have an AGD-AC measurement, so n=380.

b

Percentages may not total exactly 100% due to rounding.

c

Log-transformed specific gravity–adjusted concentrations. Pearson’s correlation was used to examine associations with continuous variables.
