Association of PBB exposure and thyroid hormone levels. The beta coefficients and 95% confidence interval (y-axis) for total PBB level (a) and total PCB level (b) from the regression of the five thyroid hormone levels (x-axis), also controlling for age, sex, and lipids. Free T3 (p = 0.002), free T4 (p = 0.008), and the free T3: free T4 (p = 0.0001) ratio are significantly associated with total PBB exposure. Free T4 (p = 0.0002) and the free T3: free T4 ratio (p = 0.002) are significantly associated with total PCB exposure
