*

Adjusted for age of child during the magnetic resonance imaging assessment, sex of child, and maternal age, ethnicity (Dutch, other-western and non-western), education (low, intermediate and high), income (low, middle and high), marital status, alcohol consumption during pregnancy (no alcohol consumption during pregnancy, alcohol consumption until pregnancy was known, occasionally alcohol consumption during pregnancy and frequently alcohol consumption during pregnancy), body mass index, parity (0, 1, 2+), and smoking use during pregnancy (no smoking during pregnancy, smoked until pregnancy wasknown, smoked during pregnancy).

DM is the sum of dimethylphosphate, dimethylthiophosphate, and dimethyldithiophosphate.

DE is the sum of diethylphosphate, diethylthiophosphate, and diethyldithiophosphate.
