Pregnancy outcomes included PTB, SGA, and GDM, identified from medical records or self-reports. Generalized estimating equations models with Poisson distribution and robust variance were used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% CIs per interquartile range increase in urinary chemical concentrations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants included 5,749 pregnant individuals with urinary concentrations of 13 phthalates and 8 phenols measured at least once during pregnancy. Among participants, 543 (9.4%) experienced PTB, 401 (7.0%) had GDM, and 335 (5.8%) had neonates with SGA birth weight. Higher concentrations of mono (3-carboxypropyl) phthalate (RR 1.24, 95% CI, 1.17\u20131.32), di-isodecyl phthalate (RR 1.22, 95% CI, 1.14\u20131.30), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (RR 1.21, 95% CI, 1.14\u20131.28), and bisphenols (RR 1.15, 95% CI, 1.08\u20131.22) were associated with increased risk of PTB. Bisphenols were also associated with SGA (RR 1.14, 95% CI, 1.05\u20131.26), and oxybenzone (RR 1.10, 95% CI, 1.00\u20131.20) and phthalates were associated with GDM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prenatal exposure to phthalates and phenols is associated with an increased risk of PTB, SGA, and GDM.
