Note: PIPs from a Bayesian kernel machine regression model, which was adjusted for maternal age, prepregnancy BMI, recruitment site, race by ethnicity and birth place, any maternal anemia in pregnancy, tobacco smoke exposure in pregnancy, and urinary arsenobetaine. Metals and urinary arsenobetaine were . Metals and all continuous covariates were also centered and scaled. —, not applicable; As, arsenic; BMI, body mass index; Cd, cadmium; Co, cobalt; Hg, mercury; Mo, molybdenum; Ni, nickel; Pb, lead; PIP, posterior inclusion probability; Sb, antimony; Sn, tin; Tl, thallium.
