Overall effects of the mixture of eight PFASs on thyroid hormone concentrations in cord blood in Bayesian kernel machine regression models. a: T3; b: FT3; c: T4; d: FT4; e: TSH. The figure plots the estimated difference in hormone concentrations when all PFAS concentrations are fixed at specified quantiles (ranging from 0.25 to 0.75), as compared to when PFAS concentrations are fixed at the 25th percentile. Dots indicate the estimate, and vertical lines indicate the 95% credible intervals (CrI). All models were adjusted for maternal age at delivery, pre-pregnancy BMI, education, parity, gestational age, delivery type, infant sex, maternal passive smoking during pregnancy, maternal folic acid supplement, and paternal drinking during 3 months before pregnancy
