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 (Nâ¯=â¯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, and BPA were detected in 57.1%, 88.4%, and 94.8% of the urine samples, respectively. Urinary BPF detection was positively associated with current asthma (odds ratio [OR] 1.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-2.04) and hay fever (OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.12-2.46). Urinary BPS was associated with increased odds of current asthma in men (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.13-2.40) and urinary BPA was associated with increased odds of asthma without hay fever in children aged 6-11 years (OR 2.65, 95% CI 1.05-6.68).CONCLUSION:
Our nationally-representative findings document that BPF and BPS exposure is common in the US and that exposure to these BPA analogs is associated with asthma and/or hay fever. Our results suggest that BPF and BPS may not be safe alternatives to BPA; however, prospective studies should be conducted to confirm these results.Palavras-chave
