Epidemiological studies on children and adults have linked toxicants from plastics and personal care products to metabolic disruption. Yet, the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on adolescent metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk during early and mid-adolescence is unclear.
To examine the links between exposure to EDCs and MetS risk and its components, cross-sectional data from 344 Mexican youth in early-to-mid adolescence (10-17 years) were analyzed. Urinary biomarker concentrations of phthalates, phenol, and paraben analytes were measured from a single spot urine sample collected in 2015; study personnel obtained anthropometric and metabolic measures. We examined associations between summary phthalates and metabolites, phenol, and paraben analytes with MetS risk z-scores using linear regression, adjusted for specific gravity, sex, age, pubertal status, smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity level, and screen time. As a secondary aim, mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate the role of hormones in the association between summary phthalates with lipids and MetS risk z-scores.
The mean (SD) age was 13.2 (1.9) years, and 50.9% were female. Sex-stratified analyses revealed associations between summary phthalates and lipids ratio z-scores, including Σ DEHP [β = 0.21 (95% CI: 0.04, 0.37; p < 0.01)], phthalates from plastic sources (Σ Plastic) [β = 0.22 (95% CI: 0.05, 0.39; p < 0.01)], anti-androgenic phthalates (Σ AA) [β = 0.22 (95% CI: 0.05, 0.39; p < 0.01)], and individual phthalate metabolites (MEHHP, MEOHP, and MECPP) among males. Among females, BPA [β = 0.24 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.44; p < 0.05)] was positively associated with lipids ratio z-score and one phenol (2,5 DCP) [β = 0.09 (95% CI: 0.01, 0.18); p < 0.05)] was associated with increased waist circumference z-score. Results showed no evidence of mediation by hormone concentrations in the association between summary phthalates with lipids ratio or MetS risk z-scores.
Higher EDC exposure was positively associated with serum lipids during adolescence, particularly among males.
儿童和成人的流行病学研究表明,塑料和个人护理产品中的有毒物质与代谢紊乱有关。然而,内分泌干扰化学物质(EDCs)对青少年中期代谢综合征(MetS)风险的影响尚不清楚。
为了研究 EDC 暴露与 MetS 风险及其组成部分之间的联系,对 344 名处于青春期早期至中期(10-17 岁)的墨西哥青少年的横断面数据进行了分析。2015 年收集了单次尿样中的邻苯二甲酸酯、酚和对羟基苯甲酸酯分析物的尿生物标志物浓度;研究人员获得了人体测量和代谢指标。我们使用线性回归分析了邻苯二甲酸酯和代谢物、酚和对羟基苯甲酸酯分析物总和与 MetS 风险 z 评分之间的关联,调整了比重、性别、年龄、青春期状态、吸烟、饮酒量、身体活动水平和屏幕时间。作为次要目标,进行了中介分析,以评估激素在邻苯二甲酸酯总和与脂质和 MetS 风险 z 评分之间的关联中的作用。
平均(SD)年龄为 13.2(1.9)岁,50.9%为女性。按性别分层分析显示,邻苯二甲酸酯和脂质比值 z 评分之间存在关联,包括ΣDEHP[β=0.21(95%CI:0.04,0.37;p<0.01)]、塑料来源的邻苯二甲酸酯(ΣPlastic)[β=0.22(95%CI:0.05,0.39;p<0.01)]、抗雄激素邻苯二甲酸酯(ΣAA)[β=0.22(95%CI:0.05,0.39;p<0.01)]和个别邻苯二甲酸酯代谢物(MEHHP、MEOHP 和 MECPP)在男性中。在女性中,BPA[β=0.24(95%CI:0.03,0.44;p<0.05)]与脂质比值 z 评分呈正相关,一种酚(2,5DCP)[β=0.09(95%CI:0.01,0.18;p<0.05)]与腰围比值 z 评分升高有关。结果表明,激素浓度在邻苯二甲酸酯总和与脂质比值或 MetS 风险 z 评分之间的关联中没有中介作用的证据。
青春期期间,较高的 EDC 暴露与血清脂质呈正相关,尤其是在男性中。
