  1. Abbreviation: LBW (low birth weight), SGA (small for gestation age), LAD (low adiponectin level), HLP (high leptin level)
  2. aCategorical analysis was performed to compare the odds ratio for every birth outcome based on geometric mean of maternal BPA exposure (2.51 ng/ml). The level of BPA less than LOD was recorded as 1/√2 LOD.
  3. bAdjusted for maternal age, BMI, smoking and socioeconomic status, HDL, TC and TRG
  4. cAdjusted for maternal age, BMI, smoking and socioeconomic status and adiponectin
  5. dAdjusted for maternal age, BMI, smoking and socioeconomic status and leptin
