Prenatal and postnatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances and bone mineral content and bone mineral density in 9-year-old children from the Odense Child Cohort
Our findings align with previous studies suggesting that bone may be a target tissue for PFAS, with effects that may persist over time. These findings raise public health concerns, as lower bone mass in childhood is associated with increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures in adulthood.
