Fig. 1From: Prenatal and childhood exposure to chlordecone and adiposity of seven-year-old children in the Timoun mother–child cohort study in Guadeloupe (French West Indies)Graphical representation of the Structural Equation Modeling of the association between exposure to chlordecone and adiposity at age 7. Note: Adiposity is a latent trait defined by four indicators. Adiposity indicators: BMI z-score: WHO references, by sex and age (in months); % Fat mass: estimated by bioelectrical impedance; Sum of skinfolds: sum of the subscapular and tricipital fold measurements; WHtR (Waist-to-Height Ratio): waist circumference (cm) / height (cm). Arrows with solid lines represent regression coefficients. Arrows with dotted lines represent factor loadings. Double-headed curvilinear arrows represent residual variances of the indicators. Prenatal covariates: maternal place of birth, maternal BMI before pregnancy, and maternal level of education, cord blood total lipids (g/L, log10 scale). Covariates at 7 years of age: exact age at measurement, duration of breastfeeding, time spent exercising, watching TV, or playing videogames per week, and obesogenic dietary habitsBack to article page
