Single-exposure effects of each individual PFAS on thyroid hormone concentrations in cord blood in Bayesian kernel machine regression models. a: T3; b: FT3; c: T4; d: FT4; e: TSH. This plot describes the estimated difference in hormone concentrations associated with a change in each individual PFAS from its 25th to 75th percentile, when all the other PFASs are fixed at either the 25th (red line), 50th (green line), or 75th percentile (blue line). Dots indicate the estimate, and horizontal 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
