Within-person variability of urinary bisphenol-A in postmenopausal women.

چکیده
We evaluated the within-person variability of urinary BPA levels over two samples collected three years apart in 90 Women's Health Initiative participants. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.09 (95% CI 0.01-0.44), indicating high within-participant variability relative to the between-person variation. Concordance of BPA quartile over time was low (31.7%) and was unrelated to demographic, behavioral, or dietary factors. A single, or even several, measurements of BPA may not adequately classify long-term exposure in human studies.

BACKGROUND Associations of bisphenol A and phthalates with chronic disease health outcomes are increasingly being investigated in epidemiologic studies. The majority of previous studies of within-person variability in urinary bisphenol A and phthalate metabolite concentrations have focused on reproducibility over short time periods. Long-term reproducibility data are needed to assess the potent...
متن کاملVariability of Urinary Concentrations of Bisphenol A in Spot Samples, First Morning Voids, and 24-Hour Collections
BACKGROUND Human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) is widespread. After exposure, BPA is rapidly metabolized and eliminated in urine. Therefore, there is considerable within-person and between-person variability of BPA concentrations in spot urine samples. However, no information exists on the within-day variability of urinary BPA concentrations. OBJECTIVES We examined the between-person and with...

Labial adhesion (LA) is a rare clinical entity in postmenopausal women. Estrogen deficiency and lack of sexual activity are probable contributing causes. Voiding dysfunction due to LA is even rarer in postmenopausal women, and only a few studies have previously reported such occurrence. A 62-year-old virgin postmenopausal woman presented to the Al-Zahra Hospital (Isfahan, Iran) with a 5-year hi...

Prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) may be associated with adverse health effects in the developing fetus; however, little is known about predictors of BPA exposure during pregnancy. We examined BPA exposure in 491 pregnant women from the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) cohort and explored the role of living in the United States on significant d...
