Associations between environmental chemical mixtures and anthropometric measures in Korean girls: a cross-sectional study
• This study evaluated the effects of environmental chemical mixtures on anthropometric indices in Korean adolescent girls, using a mixture-exposure approach. • Exposure to phthalates, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and heavy metals was inversely associated with height, whereas associations with body mass index, weight, or waist-to-hip ratio were not observed.
