Prenatal and Early Postnatal Lead Exposure and Later Adulthood Cognitive Function in the St. Louis Baby Tooth–Later Life Health Study
We found suggestive evidence for associations between early lead exposures and later adulthood cognitive function, although these only reached statistical significance for second trimester lead exposure among females. A coadjusted analysis suggested the second trimester may be most relevant for later cognitive function.
