Associations between exposure to brominated flame retardants and periodontitis in U.S. adults
In conclusion, this study provides compelling evidence of a significant association between exposure to brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and an increased risk of periodontitis in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Elevated serum levels of several BFRs, including PBDE-28, PBDE-47, PBDE-85, PBDE-99, PBDE-100, PBDE-154, PBDE-183, and PBB-153, were found to be positively associated with periodontitis, exhibiting a dose-response relationship.
