Individual and joint effects of exposure to multiple organophosphate esters and the risk of depression in adults: Differences in sex, age, and physical activity by Qingmiao Wei, Jiyun Wei, Jun Liang

“…In the generalized linear model, a one-unit increase in the natural logarithm (ln) of the urinary level of diphenyl phosphate (DPHP) was related to a respective ln-increase of 0.038(95 % CI: 0.002, 0.074) in the square root-transformed depression score, and each unit increase in the ln values of DBUP levels was related to a 1.163-fold (95 % CI: 1.013, 1.334) increase in the odds of depression in the crude models. …”
