Abstract
PFAS are emerging contaminants with widespread exposure, persistence, and potential for adverse health effects. In this study population, demographic patterns may reflect differences in exposure sources, or possibly differences in adsorption and metabolism. PFAS were associated mainly with endocrine related outcomes, with a general trend towards increased risk of glucose intolerance and high cholesterol. Continued research on the risks and benefits of fish consumption is important due to potential exposure to PFAS and noted associations with highly prevalent adverse health outcomes.
