a

Urine data are presented as unadjusted (ng/mL) and as specific-gravity (ng/mL-SG), creatinine (ng/mg), and excretion rate (ng/min) adjusted values.

b

BPA was detected in 98%, 97%, and 98% of the FMV, bedtime, and 24-h urine samples, respectively.

c

18 urine samples were excluded because they failed our quality control standards.

d

6 urine samples were not analyzed for BPA levels due to laboratory error.

e

FMV (first-morning void).

f

Number of urine samples.

g

Geometric mean and geometric standard deviation.
