Evaluation of the Relationship Between Thyroid Hormone Levels and Bisphenol A in Children Aged 6-14 Years.

Background: The incidence of hypothyroidism in childhood is increasing. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of exposure to bisphenol A, an environmental endocrine disruptor, and its substitutes in the development of hypothyroidism. To this end, thyroid hormone levels and urinary bisphenol concentrations were compared in newly diagnosed hypothyroid children and a healthy control group.
