Figure 3.

Consistency of endocrine disrupting chemicals over different timeframes.

A.) Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients to show between-person temporal correlation, which is independent of the general decrease of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals as depicted in Figure 1. B.) Intraclass correlation coefficients of endocrine disrupting chemicals to show temporal correlation within individuals of absolute exposure values. C.) Kappa of endocrine disrupting chemicals to show temporal correlation after categorization of the data into quartiles. Parabens are coloured purple, bisphenols blue, low molecular weight phthalates green and high molecular weight phthalates red. Full names of EDC abbreviations are shown in Table 1.
