Association between brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and periodontitis: Results from a large population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are widely utilized to mitigate the flammability of various materials. Previous studies have revealed the impact of BFRs exposure on hormonal disruption and bone metabolism which are closely related to periodontitis. However, it remains unknown the potential relationship between BFRs and periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the association between BFRs exposure and periodontitis in US adults.

Methods

The data analyzed in this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2014. Twelve serum BFRs were quantified using isotope dilution gas chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was employed to evaluate the association bet
