Association between combined exposure to organochlorine pesticides and history of uterine fibroids in NHANES: findings from four statistical models
Our study conclusively established associations between OCPs and history of uterine fibroid. The simultaneous exposure to these chemicals is associated with an increased prevalence of uterine fibroid. Among these chemicals, oxychlordane has the most impact on the overall combined effect.
