Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances(PFAS) are widespread organic pollutants with endocrine-disrupting effects on human health, but the association of PFAS exposure with metabolic syndrome remains conflicting. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) program was utilized to evaluate the association of individual PFAS exposure and metabolic disorders and further determined the joint effect of PFAS co-exposures. 13921 participants and five PFAS exposures(PFHxS, MPAH, PFDE, PFNA, and PFUA) were included for analysis.

Exposures to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been reported to increase the risk of atherosclerosis. Therefore, PFAS exposure may be linked to the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but this association remains uncertain. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between PFAS exposure and ACS risk through a case-control study.

Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of contaminants used in many industrial applications and consumer products. Certain PFAS are regulated or voluntarily limited due to concern about environmental persistence and adverse health effects.
Objectives: In this analysis we examine PFAS levels and their association with metabolic syndrome and its components, using a representative sample of the U.

Background: Several cross-sectional studies have linked different environmental contaminants to the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, mixture effects have not been investigated and no prospective studies exist regarding environmental contaminants and the MetS.
Objectives: To study mixture effects of contaminants on the risk of incident MetS in a prospective fashion.
