Association between perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances and adolescents' sleep disorders: NHANES 2005–2018
Our findings indicate a negative correlation between specific PFAS and specific sleep disorders in adolescents, with PFOS being the dominant effect component in the PFAS mixture and stronger effects observed in females. However, due to the cross-sectional nature of the study, a causal relationship cannot be established. These results highlight the potential public health impact of PFAS exposure and the need to further investigate the underlying mechanisms and causal pathways in future longitudinal or experimental studies.
