Phthalate/Bisphenol levels according to the quintiles of dietary contribution of minimally processed foods (% of total energy intake).

Subsample of US population aged 6 + years (NHANES 2009–2016). Legend: aFor all phthalates: Mean (range) dietary contribution of unprocessed/ minimally processed foods per quintile [n]: 1st = 5.8 (0 to 11.9)% [n = 1784]; 2nd = 16.7 (15.8 to 23.6)% [n = 1746]; 3rd = 25.7 (23.6 to 31.3) [n = 1773]; 4th = 36.2 (31.3 to 41.3) [n = 1928]; 5th = 55.4 (41.3 to 100) [n = 2185]. All analysis adjusted for cycle, sex, age group (6 to 11, 12 to 19, +20), race/ethnicity (Mexican American, Other Hispanic, Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Other Race), ratio of family income to poverty (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program 0.00–1.30, >1.30–3.50 and >3.50 and over) + energy intake above recommended levels (y/n), BMI (underweight, normoweight, overweight, obesity), physical activity (low, medium, high) and current smoking (y/n). Geometric mean (GM) presented in all cases.
