Impact of exposure to phenols during early pregnancy on birth weight in two Canadian cohort studies subject to measurement errors

Increased TCS exposure during pregnancy is marginally associated with decreased odds of having SGA offspring. It is possibly associated with decreased BW in males and decreased odds of LBW, though these associations were not present in measurement error corrected models. TCS is possibly associated with increased odds in male offspring of being LGA, though this relationship was not present in models not corrected for measurement error. The study finds no significant effects of BPA on birth weight outcomes, which may be due to more severe measurement error in a single observation of BPA.
