Fig. 2. Univariate dose-response function (95% Credible Intervals, CrIs) of toxic metal (Hg, Pb, Cd) and micronutrient (Se, folate) exposures with child overweight or obesity (OWO).

Fig. 2.

(A) Children born to mothers with OWO (N=755). (B) Children born to mothers without OWO (N=687). The univariate dose-response functions were assessed by fixing the remaining exposures at their median values and including maternal age, BMI, race/ethnicity, marital status, education level, parity, breastfeeding type, smoking status, fish intake, child’s sex, low birthweight, and preterm status as the covariates. The x-axis was limited to a range from −2 to 2, which reflects the z-score. Refer to the Supplement for the full range plot (Fig. S10). 95% CrIs are indicated by the shaded areas.
