  1. aConditional logistic regression with the matched sets as strata and adjusted for education, number of children, age at menarche, menopausal status, BMI at urine collection, neighborhood socioeconomic status at urine collection, smoking, alcohol intake, and Mediterranean energy adjusted total score
  2. bP heterogeneity (race) df = 4
  3. c∑DEHP, sum of MEHP, MEHHP, MEOHP, and MECPP; ∑HMWP, sum of high molecular weight phthalates (MBzP, DEHP metabolites, and MECP); ∑LMWP, sum of low molecular weight phthalates (MMP, MEP, MBP, MiBP); ∑LMHMPA, sum of ∑LMWP, ∑HMWP, and PA; and ∑LMHM molar ratios were calculated by dividing the concentration of each metabolite by its molecular weight to obtain the molar equivalent (micromoles per liter) and then summed the concentrations in micromoles per liter to get total micromoles per liter of metabolites
  4. dP trend (log phthalate) df = 1
