Multiple informant models (RRs and 95% CI) for repeated child urinary glyphosate, AMPA, and glyphosate residue concentrations (specific gravity-corrected, μg/L) at the 5-y, 14-y, and 18-y visits and abnormal markers of liver inflammation and metabolic syndrome (and its components), using mixed-effects Poisson models with a random intercept for each CHAMACOS participant.a,b

a

Fasting urine samples taken at 18 y are not included in models, but 5-y and 14-y samples are still included for those participants.

b

Models adjusted for sex, any alcohol consumption at 18 years (yes/no), maternal prepregnancy BMI, parental work in agriculture during pregnancy (yes/no), household poverty status at 18 y (above vs. below the poverty threshold), and food security at 18 y (high/marginal security vs. low and very low security).

c

Calculated using the formula: [Glyphosate +(1.5×AMPA)].
