Article Synopsis
- PFASs are harmful substances that pose health risks, especially to infants, and prior studies only focused on exposure during the first three months after birth, failing to align with the WHO's breastfeeding guidelines.
- The study measured levels of 23 different PFASs in human milk over 400 days and found that most samples contained high concentrations, peaking in the first 45 days postpartum, with significant levels persisting for over a year.
- Despite the risks associated with PFAS exposure in human milk, breastfeeding is still recommended for its considerable health benefits, highlighting the need for efforts to reduce these harmful substances in the environment and diets of lactating women.
The process of the globally aging population has been accelerating, leading to an increasing social burden. As people age, the musculoskeletal system will gradually go through a series of degenerative and loss of function and eventually develop age-related musculoskeletal diseases, like sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. On the other hand, several studies have shown that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) possess various important physiological functions on the health of muscles, bones, and joints.

Odd-chain fatty acids (OCFAs) have been recognized as a category of bioactive milk fatty acids in recent research; however, limited data exist on OCFAs in human milk. This study collected human milk samples spanning the postpartum period from 0 to 400 days.
