NAP metabolites; the sum of 1-hydroxynaphthalene and 2-hydroxynaphthalene (creatinine-corrected concentration (μg/g creatinine)). Models are adjusted for age, sex, mother’s education, father’s education, breastfeeding duration, passive smoking at home, formula feeding, breast milk, and consumption of cow’s milk. Models are adjusted for age, sex, mother’s education, father’s education, breastfeeding duration, passive smoking at home, formula feeding, breast milk and consumption of cow’s milk, BMI, and 5 dietary patterns.
