Early life poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) levels and adiposity in the first 2 years of life

CONCLUSION: Higher PFAS levels in early life associate with accelerated gain in FM% during the first 6 months of life and with lower FFM SDS at age 2 years, which have been associated with an unfavorable body composition and metabolic profile later in life. Our findings warrant further research with longer follow-up.PMID:38554392 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvae039
