Table 8 Associations between urine biomarkers of chemical exposure and BMI in adult participants. Linear regression estimate (∆ and 95% confidence interval (CI)) for urine biomarkers applied as continuous variables, and logistic regression (OR and CI) for biomarkers applied as dichotomous variables (butylparaben, 2,5-DCP, triclosan and triclocarban)

From: Exposure to environmental phenols and parabens, and relation to body mass index, eczema and respiratory outcomes in the Norwegian RHINESSA study
