Risk of hypertension in middle-aged women with high blood PFAS levels

 PFAS is a synthetic chemical that has been pointed out to have the potential to disrupt blood pressure control and is currently undergoing global tightening of regulations.

The survey was followed up from 1999 to 2017.


As a result, the group with the highest baseline serum concentration had a adjusted hazard ratio of 1.42 for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and 1.47,2- (N-) for linear perfluorooctanoic acid, compared to the group with the lowest serum concentration. It was 1.42 with ethyl-perfluorooctane sulfonamide) acetic acid. In the mixture analysis, women in the highest PFAS concentration group had a hazard ratio of 1.71 compared to the lowest tertile group.
