Association of PFDeA exposure with hypertension (NHANES, 2013-2018).

ABSTRACT: Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is a series of artificial compounds which is associated with human health. However, there are few studies on the relationship between PFASs and hypertension. In this study, we examined the association between different kinds of PFASs and hypertension. Multivariable logistic regression and subgroup analysis were adopted to assess the associations between PFASs and hypertension. Spline smoothing plots and linear regression were used to assess the relationship between PFASs and blood pressure. We found a positive association between serum PFDeA concentrations and the prevalence of hypertension after fully adjusting confounders (OR = 1.2, P = 0.01), but other types of PFASs showed no positive results.
