Note: AMPA, aminomethylphosphonic acid; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; GLY, glyphosate; IQR, interquartile range; OR, odds ratio.

a

Biomarkers are adjusted for specific gravity using the formula: GASG=GA[(1.0191)/(SG1)], where GASG is the SG-adjusted GLY or AMPA concentration (μg/L); GA is the observed GLY or AMPA concentration; 1.019 is the population median specific gravity; and SG is the specific gravity of the urine sample.

b

Models are adjusted for maternal age, education, prepregnancy BMI, and smoking.

c

IQRs were calculated based on GLY distribution in controls. IQRs were 0.56, 0.52, and 0.54 for Visit 1, Visit 3, and the Visits 1 and 3 average, respectively.

d

IQRs were calculated based on AMPA distribution in controls. IQRs were 0.27, 0.40, and 0.30 for Visit 1, Visit 3, and the Visits 1 and 3 average, respectively.
