a

Models controlled for urinary creatinine, sex, age, race/ethnicity, smoke exposure, PIR, head of household education level, time spent watching television, and caloric intake.

b

Obesity defined as ≥95th percentile of age- and sex-standardized BMI z-scores.

c

Severe obesity defined as ≥120% of the 95th percentile of age- and sex-standardized BMI z-scores or a BMI of ≥35 kg/m2, whichever was lower.

d

Abdominal obesity defined as ratio between waist circumference and height ≥0.5.

e

Overweight defined as ≥85th percentile of age- and sex-standardized BMI z-scores.

f

Change in the respective outcome associated with a log-unit increase in each corresponding bisphenol concentration.
