All variables were adjusted using population weights for the sample in which BPA concentration was measured except N (unweighted sample size). ANOVA was used to compare differences of urinary concentrations of BPA, BPF, and BPS among various categorical variables. The analysis of creatinine-adjusted concentrations of BPA, BPS, and BPF is presented in Table S4, Supporting Information.

b

Race/ethnicity was categorized based on self-reported data into Hispanic (including Mexican and non-Mexican Hispanic), non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and other race/ethnicity.37

c

Family IPRs were categorized as ≤1.30, 1.31–3.50, and >3.50.37,50
