Joint associations of umbilical cord blood PFAS mixture (ln-transformed) with children BP (A. SBP, B. DBP, C. MAP, D. PP) estimated by Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) (N = 129). The figure plotted the estimated differences and 95% CIs in the BP when all the PFAS were fixed at a specific quantile (from 0.25 to 0.75) compared to all the PFAS at their 50th percentile. The results were adjusted for household income, educational levels, GDM, HDP, drink history, passive smoke history, age of mom, birthweight, sex and BMI of children. SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, MAP: mean artery pressure, PP: pulse pressure, BMI: body mass index, HDP: hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus
