Associations of prenatal urinary bisphenol A concentrations with child behaviors and cognitive abilities
Background: Prenatal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure has been associated with adverse
neurodevelopment in epidemiological studies. However, prior studies had limited statistical
power to examine sex-specific effects, and few examined child cognition. Objectives: We
estimated the association between prenatal BPA exposure and child neurobehavior at 3 y of
age in a prospective cohort of 812 mothers and their children. Methods: We measured BPA
concentration in urine samples collected at∼ 12 wk gestation among women enrolled in a …
