Associations between co-exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and metabolic diseases: The mediating roles of inflammation and oxidative stress.
Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose potential risks to human health. In real-world settings, humans are exposed to various PFAS through numerous pathways.
Objectives: This study evaluated the associations between co-exposure to PFAS and obesity and its comorbidities, along with the mediating roles of inflammation and oxidative stress.
Methods: We analyzed 11,090 participants from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2003-2018. Linear regression, logistic regression, and generalized additive models were used to assess the individual effects of PFAS exposure on obesity and its comorbidities. The environmental risk score (ERS) was calculated using the adaptive elastic-net model to assess the co-exposure effects. Linear and logistic regression models explored the associations between ERS and obesity and its comorbidities. Mediation analyses explored the roles of inflammatory (neutrophils, lymphocytes, and alkaline phosphatase) and oxidative stress (gamma-glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, and uric acid) markers in the associations between ERS and obesity and its comorbidities.
Results: For each unit increase in ERS, the odds of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increased 3.60-fold (95 % CI: 2.03, 6.38) and 1.91-fold (95 % CI: 1.28, 2.86), respectively. For each unit increase in ERS, BMI increased by 2.36 (95 % CI: 1.24, 3.48) kg/m2, waist circumference increased by 6.47 (95 % CI: 3.56, 9.37) cm, and waist-to-height ratio increased by 0.04 (95 % CI: 0.02, 0.06). Lymphocytes, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin were significantly associated with both ERS and obesity, with mediation proportions of 4.17 %, 3.62 %, and 7.37 %, respectively. Lymphocytes, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and uric acid were significantly associated with both ERS and T2DM, with the mediation proportions of 8.90 %, 8.74 %, 29.73 %, and 38.19 %, respectively.
Conclusions: Co-exposure to PFAS was associated with obesity and T2DM, and these associations may be mediated by inflammation and oxidative stress. Further mechanistic and prospective studies are required to verify these associations.
期刊介绍:
The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.
The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
