Association of Urinary Bisphenols Concentration with Asthma in Korean Adolescents: Data from the Third Korean National Environmental Health Survey
The effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on asthma have been reported in various in vitro, animal, and human epidemiologic studies. However, epidemiological studies on the effects of bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF), which are substitutes of BPA, on asthma are lacking. The purpose of this study was t...

| Sumario: | The effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on asthma have been reported in various in vitro, animal, and human epidemiologic studies. However, epidemiological studies on the effects of bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF), which are substitutes of BPA, on asthma are lacking. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between BPA, BPS, and BPF and asthma. An asthma-related questionnaire; urinary BPA, BPS, BPF; and the possible confounders were analyzed among 922 adolescents aged 12–17 years who participated in the Korean National Environmental Health Survey 2016. In males, urinary BPA, BPS, and BPF did not show a significant relationship with the lifetime prevalence of asthma. In females, urinary BPS was higher in the asthma group (<i>p</i> < 0.01). High urinary BPS showed a significant relationship with a high odds ratio (OR) of lifetime asthma prevalence in the model adjusted for possible confounders (<i>p</i> < 0.05). High urinary BPS was particularly associated with an increase in the OR of asthma diagnosed after the age of 60 months (<i>p</i> < 0.01). Urinary BPS was significantly associated with asthma diagnosis, especially after the age of 60 months, among Korean adolescent females. |
