Summary of adjusted associations (regression coefficients) between prenatal blood mercury and offspring heart rate (for full details, see online supplementary table S3)
| Age of offspring (years) | All cases | Mothers ate fish | Mothers ate no fish |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | −0.17 (−0.62 to +0.29) | −0.04 (−0.52 to +0.44) | −0.68 (−2.74 to +1.37) |
| 9 | +0.12 (−0.33 to +0.57) | +0.26 (−0.21 to +0.73) | +0.25 (−1.80 to +2.29) |
| 11 | −0.44 (−0.95 to +0.07)* | −0.27 (−0.81 to +0.28) | −0.32 (−2.35 to +1.70) |
| 13 | +0.04 (−0.52 to +0.59) | +0.15 (−0.44 to +0.73) | −0.19 (−2.84 to +2.46) |
| 15 | −0.15 (−0.90 to +0.70) | −0.04 (−0.86 to +0.78) | −0.56 (−3.46 to +2.48) |
| 17 | −0.08 (−0.62 to +0.46) | −0.10 (−0.68 to +0.49) | +0.72 (−1.34 to +2.79) |
Regression coefficients give the increase (+) or decrease (−) in heart rate for each SD of mercury.
