Distribution of urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations by annual visit at ages 1, 2, 3 years (The HOME Study; Cincinnati, OH).
Solid line indicates geometric mean of each distribution. Jittered dots are individual observations. Smoothed lines are density functions of urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations.
Total participants = 288 (680 observations).
