BPA, Bisphenol A; a daily BPA index as computed in Equation (1) and natural log-transformed; β, unstandardized regression coefficient estimate; CI, confidence interval; b percent change = [exp(β) – 1] × 100; p, p-value based on the t-test for the particular adjusted regression coefficient; MVPA, daily moderate to vigorous physical activity minutes; R2, 11.5%; all variance inflation factors < 1.2.
