Adjusted indirect associations between child race and average child FSIQ at ages 5 and/or 8 years mediated through gestational and childhood urinary MEP concentrations: the HOME study (2003–2006). Adjusted for maternal age (continuous), prepregnancy BMI (continuous), income (continuous), log-10 transformed average gestational cotinine concentration (continuous), and maternal FSIQ scores (continuous). Repeated maternal urinary phthalate metabolites assessed at 16 and 26 weeks of gestation. Repeated child urinary phthalate metabolites assessed at ages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. Note, the average value of urinary phthalate concentrations does not include those collected at age 8 years since the primary outcome, average FSIQ consists of scores from ages 5 and 8 years.
