Figure 2.

Figure 2 is a set of eight error bar graphs titled mono-ethyl phthalate, mono-n-butyl phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate, mono-isobutyl phthalate, mono(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate, monocarboxyoctyl phthalate, monocarboxy-isononyl phthalate, summed di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, plotting mean difference (95 percent confidence intervals) in weight lowercase z score, ranging from negative 0.3 to 0.3 in increment of 0.1 (y-axis) across 20 weeks, birth, 1 year of age, 3 years of age, 4 years of age, and 6 years of age (x-axis), respectively.

Adjusted difference in weight z-scores (95% CIs) per IQR increase in pregnancy average of individual phthalate metabolite biomarkers (n=780). Effect estimates were calculated using linear mixed-effects models adjusted for maternal age (y), race (White/Black/Other), education level (High school or less/Any technical school or college/Graduate work), prepregnancy BMI (kg/m2), and study site (UCSF/UMN/URMC/UW). For models of MCOP and MCNP, n=769. No data was collected for females at 1 year of age. *, p<0.05 for overall association of phthalate metabolite on outcome based on likelihood ratio tests. Corresponding effect estimates are presented in Table S4.
