Organochlorines in Swedish women: determinants of serum concentrations.
We studied associations between lifestyle/medical factors and lipid-adjusted serum concentrations of seven polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners and five chlorinated pesticides/metabolites among 205 Swedish women (54-75 years old). Serum concentrations were significantly associated with age, body mass index, body weight change, diabetes mellitus, consumption of fatty fish, and place of resid...
متن کاملDeterminants of serum concentrations of organochlorine compounds in Swedish pregnant women: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND We performed a cross-sectional study of associations between personal characteristics and lipid-adjusted serum concentrations of certain PCB congeners and chlorinated pesticides/metabolites among 323 pregnant primiparous women from Uppsala County (age 18-41 years) sampled 1996-1999. METHODS Extensive personal interviews and questionnaires about personal characteristics were perform...
متن کاملFecundability and Serum PBDE Concentrations in Women
Harley et al. (2010) reported that as serum concentrations of BDE‐47, BDE‐99, BDE‐100, and BDE‐153 [polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners] increased, the time to achieve conception also increased (Harley et al. 2010). Although PBDE con‐ centrations in serum were measured only near the end of the second trimester of pregnancy, the authors reported that the association with a longer time...
متن کاملMajor Determinants of Serum Homocysteine Concentrations in a Korean Population
The objective of this study was to identify the factors that determine serum homocysteine concentrations in Korean population. In a community-based study, 871 participants completed detailed questionnaires and physical examination. We found that increased age, male sex, family history of stroke, deficiencies of serum folate and vitamin B12, and elevated serum creatinine significantly increased ...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants of Serum Testosterone Concentrations in Men
Testosterone concentrations in men are associated with cardiovascular morbidity, osteoporosis, and mortality and are affected by age, smoking, and obesity. Because of serum testosterone's high heritability, we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association data in 8,938 men from seven cohorts and followed up the genome-wide significant findings in one in silico (n = 871) and two de novo r...
