Background: Data concerning the effects of prenatal exposures to phthalates and phenols
on fetal growth are limited in humans. Previous findings suggest possible effects of some …

Background Many phthalates and phenols are hormonally active and are suspected to alter
the course of development. Objective We investigated prenatal exposures to phthalate and …

Background: The placenta performs crucial physiological functions to ensure normal fetal
development. Few epidemiological studies investigated placental weight sensitivity to …

Objective To study associations between prenatal exposure to phthalates and fetal and
postnatal growth up to age 5 years in male offspring. Methods Eleven phthalate metabolites …

Background Preterm birth is a global public health issue and rates in Puerto Rico are
consistently among the highest in the USA. Exposures to environmental contaminants might …

Objectives We applied three statistical approaches for evaluating associations between
prenatal urinary concentrations of a mixture of phthalate metabolites and birth weight …

Background: Phthalate exposures are hypothesized to increase obesity; however, prior
research has been largely cross-sectional. Objective: We evaluated associations between …

Objective We performed a systematic review of the epidemiology literature to identify the
female reproductive and developmental effects associated with phthalate exposure. Data …

Abstract Background Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are ubiquitous non-persistent
endocrine disrupting chemicals whose relation with infant birth size is not clearly …

Objective: Phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) are ubiquitous environmental toxicants,
present in high concentrations in numerous consumer products. We hypothesized that …
