Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants with potential endocrine-disrupting properties. This study examines the association between exposure to multiple PFASs and pan-cancers associated with sex hormones (PCSH) while accounting for potential non-linear relationships and interactions. We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), spanning two-year cycles from 1999 to 2012 and including 14,373 participants. Serum concentrations of six PFAS-perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDE), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUA)-were assessed for their relationship with PCSH. The statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Spearman and Pearson correlation analyses, and both linear and logistic regression models. Additionally, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) was applied to capture potential nonlinear relationships and interactions. The initial -tests showed a statistically significant difference in PFOS levels between individuals with and without PCSH ( = 0.0022), with higher mean PFOS levels in the PCSH group. Chi-square tests revealed a significant association between ethnicity and PCSH ( < 0.001). Linear and logistic regression analyses revealed significant associations for PFOS. BKMR analysis identified PFOA as having the highest posterior inclusion probability, indicating its importance in explaining PCSH risk. Univariate exposure-response analysis revealed limited individual PFAS effects. However, bivariate analysis indicated a complex U-shaped interaction pattern among many joint PFAS assessments. The overall exposure effect analysis suggested that the combined impact of all PFASs was more strongly associated with PCSH at exposure levels below the 0.5 quantile compared to higher levels. Single-variable interaction analyses highlighted PFOA and PFOS as the most interactive PFASs when evaluating their interaction with combined exposure to all other PFASs. In summary, while the initial findings suggested a positive association between PFOS and PCSH, the BKMR analysis revealed complex non-linear relationships and interactions among PFAS. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating PFASs as a mixture rather than as individual chemicals and using techniques that can capture non-linear relationships and interactions.

摘要

全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFASs)是普遍存在的环境污染物,具有潜在的内分泌干扰特性。本研究在考虑潜在的非线性关系和相互作用的情况下,考察了多种PFASs暴露与性激素相关的泛癌(PCSH)之间的关联。我们分析了来自国家健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)的数据,该调查涵盖了1999年至2012年的两年周期,包括14373名参与者。评估了六种PFASs——全氟辛酸(PFOA)、全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)、全氟己烷磺酸(PFHxS)、全氟癸酸(PFDE)、全氟壬酸(PFNA)和全氟十一烷酸(PFUA)——的血清浓度与PCSH的关系。统计分析包括描述性统计、Spearman和Pearson相关性分析,以及线性和逻辑回归模型。此外,应用贝叶斯核机器回归(BKMR)来捕捉潜在的非线性关系和相互作用。初步检验显示,有和没有PCSH的个体之间PFOS水平存在统计学显著差异(P = 0.0022),PCSH组的平均PFOS水平更高。卡方检验显示种族与PCSH之间存在显著关联(P < 0.001)。线性和逻辑回归分析显示PFOS存在显著关联。BKMR分析确定PFOA具有最高的后验包含概率,表明其在解释PCSH风险方面的重要性。单变量暴露-反应分析显示单个PFAS的影响有限。然而,双变量分析表明,在许多联合PFAS评估中存在复杂的U形相互作用模式。总体暴露效应分析表明,与较高水平相比,在暴露水平低于0.5分位数时,所有PFASs的综合影响与PCSH的关联更强。单变量相互作用分析突出了PFOA和PFOS在评估它们与所有其他PFASs联合暴露的相互作用时是最具相互作用的PFASs。总之,虽然初步结果表明PFOS与PCSH之间存在正相关,但BKMR分析揭示了PFAS之间复杂的非线性关系和相互作用。这些发现凸显了将PFASs作为混合物而非单个化学品进行评估以及使用能够捕捉非线性关系和相互作用的技术的重要性。
