Phthalate mixture exposure is associated with oxidative imbalance in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study using WQS, qgcomp, and BKMR

HSHao SunMWMengmeng WangYXYuwen Xu

Key Points

  • To investigate the relationship between phthalate mixtures and oxidative imbalance in postmenopausal women.
  • Cross-sectional study design
  • Analysis of phthalate exposure using WQS, qgcomp, and BKMR methods
  • Focus on specific phthalates: MBP and MEHP
  • Phthalate exposure is associated with oxidative imbalance
  • Notably linked phthalates include MBP and MEHP
  • Findings emphasize the need for considering chemical mixtures in health research

Abstract

Our findings suggest that exposure to phthalate mixtures, notably MBP and MEHP, is linked to oxidative imbalance in postmenopausal women. These results highlight the importance of considering chemical mixtures in environmental health research and underscore the need for longitudinal studies to confirm causality and elucidate underlying mechanisms.
