Association of urinary levels of bisphenols F and S used as bisphenol A substitutes with asthma and hay fever outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bisphenols F (BPF) and S (BPS) are bisphenol A (BPA) analogs used as substitutes in consumer products. Despite previous reports of BPA's association with asthma, no studies have examined its structural analogs in relation to asthma and allergy outcomes.

Objective

To examine the association of urinary BPF, BPS, and BPA with asthma and hay fever in a US representative sample.

Methods

We analyzed data from 3,538 participants aged 12 years or older in the 2013-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Children aged 6-11 years (N = 738), who did not have all covariate data available, were analyzed separately. Covariate-adjusted logistic regression was used to assess the association of the exposures with the outcomes.

Results

BPF, BPS
