Associations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure with arterial stiffness: Evidence from NHANES 2011-2018.

The association between PFAS exposure and estimated pulse wave velocity was investigated via multiple statistical approaches, providing hypothesis-generating evidence for potential pathways and offer exploratory insights for prevention, while also highlighting the need for future studies employing more direct measures.

Association between mixed per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance exposure and thyroid hormone levels in the general population of Shandong, China.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are recognized endocrine disruptors; however, evidence on PFAS mixture effects, exposure thresholds, and mechanisms of thyroid disruption in Chinese populations remains limited. In this cross-sectional study, 22 serum PFAS congeners were quantified by ultra-high-performance li...

Association between plasma levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and schizophrenia: A case-control study.

In the assessment of mixture exposure effects, the BKMR model indicated an overall negative association between PFAS mixtures and schizophrenia risk, and gWQS analysis further identified PFHxS as the component with the highest weight contribution.

The association between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and the risk of metabolic syndrome in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Evidence regarding the association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) across adult subgroups remains limited. This study aimed to examine PFAS exposure and MetS risk in adults, focusing on potential susceptibility factors. METHODS We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Em...

Serum concentrations of legacy, alternative, and precursor per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: a descriptive analysis of premenopausal participants in the Canadian CARTaGENE cohort

The findings suggest that exposure to low levels of some alternative and precursor PFAS may be widespread in Canada and reinforce the role of pregnancy and breastfeeding as excretion pathways for legacy PFAS and support previous investigations demonstrating that exposure to some PFAS may be lower amongst financially di...
