Associations of endocrine disrupting chemical biomarkers and their mixture with vitamin D biomarker concentrations in childhood: The HOME Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children are universally exposed to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) which may disrupt the vitamin D system through several mechanisms, including competitive receptor binding. Current epidemiologic evidence is limited, especially in children. We cross-sectionally investigated the short-term associations of 24 EDC biomarkers with 3 vitamin D biomarkers measured at ages 8 and 12 years.

Methods

Among 236 children from the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment Study, we quantified serum concentrations of 4 per-/poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), 5 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and 3 vitamin D biomarkers and urinary metabolites of 4 organophosphate esters (OPE), 9 phthalates/replacements, and 2 environmental phenols at ages 8 (n = 180) and 12
