Association between prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and infant anthropometry: A prospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Prenatal PFAS exposure (PFNA and PFDoA) was associated with increased infant anthropometry, especially in female infants, while prenatal PFOA exposure was associated with decreased weight, and head and arm circumference in male infants. The findings indicate that prenatal PFAS exposure may impair the growth trajectory of offspring.PMID:38401404 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijheh.2024.114339
