Childhood, including adolescence, is a vulnerable period when it comes to exposure to environmental chemicals and their mixtures. (1) Many of these chemicals are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) since they can interfere with the hormonal system in the body, and exposure to these chemicals during critical developmental stages may lead to adverse health effects later in life.

Objectives There is growing recognition that simultaneously assessing multiple exposures may reduce false positive discoveries and improve epidemiological effect estimates. We evaluated the performance of statistical methods for identifying exposure–outcome associations across various data structures typical of environmental and occupational epidemiology analyses.
