All models were adjusted for categorical maternal age, ordinal maternal education, study visit, and specific gravity. Visit P indicates significance of an interaction term between study visit and log(phthalate). Boldface type indicates a 95% CI.

a

Hormone levels were natural log-transformed for all analyses.

b

Associations between phthalates and hormones that have a q value <0.1.
