Adjusted for age, sex, BMI, smoking status, and urine iodine to creatinine ratio and Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4. Factor 1 was highly loaded with MECPP, MEHHP, MEOHP, MCMHP, and MiNP. Factor 2 was highly loaded with MiBP, MnBP, and MEHP. Factor 3 was highly loaded with MCPP and MCHP, and Factor 4 was highly loaded with MBzP.
