Factors contributing to the prenatal and postnatal concentration of chemicals and their relationship with the pathogenesis of congenital cryptorchidism. Chemical concentrations in the analyses were adjusted for total duration of breastfeeding and age at the operation to minimise the variation in the postnatal exposure, which does not contribute to the pathogenesis of congenital cryptorchidism. In contrast, factors influencing the chemical concentrations in the mothers were not adjusted for to maximise the likelihood to detect the association between the chemical concentrations and the outcome
