Figure 2

Change in markers of diabetes risk across quartiles of urinary phthalate metabolites in racial/ethnic subgroups. One example is selected for each diabetes biomarker, and similar racial/ethnic patterns were seen for other urinary phthalate metabolites, particularly MnBP, MiBP, MCPP and ∑DEHP. (a) example of FBG: MiBP and FBG, (b) example of fasting insulin: ∑DEHP and fasting insulin, (c) example of HOMA-IR: ∑DEHP and HOMA-IR. Adjusted for age, sex, urinary creatinine, fasting time, total caloric intake, triglyceride, education, smoking status and poverty for all phthalate metabolites.
