Fig 4. Differences in five-year fat mass and body fat percentage changes per doubling of phthalate metabolite concentrations, by baseline obesity status.

Fig 4.

Results were based on 4750 observations from 499 women who were normal/underweight, 3942 observations from 403 women who had overweight, and 4054 observations from 442 women who had obesity. Differences were adjusted for age at baseline (1999/2000), race/ethnicity, site, the interaction between time and site, education level, daily dietary energy intake at baseline, and time-varying physical activity, smoking status, menopausal status, and use of hormone therapy. ∑LMW phthalates = molar sum of MEP, MnBP, and MiBP; ∑DEHP = molar sum of MEHP, MEHHP, MEOHP, and MECPP; ∑HMW phthalates = molar sum of MEHP, MEHHP, MEOHP, MECPP, MBzP, MCOP, MCNP, and MCPP. * = p-value < 0.05.
