Serum polyfluoroalkyl chemicals are associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases in national US population

Perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) as possible cardiovascular disrupters are universally detected in humans. However, evidence from epidemiological studies appears insufficient and ambiguous. We aim to examine the serum PFCs levels and their associations with the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and related outcomes in general US population. We investigated the serum levels of 12 major PFCs, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA),...
