Description

BACKGROUND

• Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may alter body composition by lowering anabolic hormones and increasing inflammation.

Prior studies have found positive, inverse, and null associations of PFAS concentrations with adiposity among children and adolescents.

Few studies have examined associations of PFAS concentrations with changes in body composition longitudinally.

No study has examined the association of PFAS plasma concentrations with lean mass.
