BPA, Bisphenol A; BMI, body mass index; AC, abdominal circumference; β, unstandardized regression coefficient estimate; CI, confidence interval; p, p-value based on the t-test for the particular adjusted regression coefficient; a daily BPA index computed as shown in Equation (1); all variance inflation factors <1.2; R2 for BMI model, 6.4%; R2 for AC model, 6.2%.
