Table 2

Association between use of organophosphorus pesticides and gestational hypertension.

	Gestational hypertension
		% exp	aOR	95% CI
No exposure	26	—	1.00
Chlorpyrifos	25	20	1.03	0.86–1.08
Diazinon	30	23	1.09	1.03–1.16
Malathion	48	37	1.14	1.08–1.19
Parathion	26	20	1.02	0.78–1.19

% exp = proportion of participants with gestational hypertension actually exposed to the agent.
aOR = effect estimates adjusted for age, smoking and alcohol drinking habits, and BMI.
