Adjusted associations of the maternal serum perfluoroalkyl substance mixture with BMC z-scores at age 12 y estimated using quantile g-computation, overall and by child sex (n=206): The Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (HOME) Study.

Outcome Overall (n=206) Males (n=93) Females (n=113)
Whole-body less head 0.04 (0.18, 0.10) 0.01 (0.21, 0.22) 0.04 (0.23, 0.15)
Total hip 0.14 (0.31, 0.02) 0.10 (0.36, 0.16) 0.17 (0.38, 0.05)
Femoral neck 0.02 (0.19, 0.15) 0.03 (0.24, 0.29) 0.02 (0.25, 0.22)
Forearm 0.18 (0.34, 0.02) 0.20 (0.46, 0.07) 0.21 (0.44, 0.02)
Spine 0.07 (0.23, 0.08) 0.11 (0.38, 0.16) 0.01 (0.24, 0.21)

Note: Difference (95% confidence interval) in outcome z-score per quartile increase in all perfluoroalkyl substances estimated using quantile g-computation. Adjusted for maternal age at delivery, midpregnancy BMI, race/ethnicity, household income, parity, prenatal vitamin use, average blood lead concentration, and child age at follow-up. Models for the overall population are additionally adjusted for child sex and child sex by child age at follow-up. Missing covariate information accounted for using single stochastic imputation by chained equations. Note: BMC, bone mineral content; BMI, body mass index.
