On the contrary, BPA concentrations in the amniotic fluid of male fetuses were positively correlated with birth weight centile for gestational age (r = 0.451), a result that was marginally non-significant ( p -value = 0.053), while they were also negatively correlated with gestational age (r = −0.627, p -value = 0.004), although this was not included in our primary outcomes to be investigated. 4.

Lower BPA concentrations were detected in the SGA group (median value of 128.62 pg/mL) compared to the AGA/control group and LGA group, although these differences failed to reach statistical significance ( p -values are 0.296 and 0.188, respectively).
