- Abstract
- The effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on asthma have been reported in various in vitro, animal, and human epidemiologic studies. However, epidemiological studies on the effects of bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF), which are substitutes of BPA, on asthma are lacking. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between BPA, BPS, and BPF and asthma. An asthma-related questionnaire; urinary BPA, BPS, BPF; and the possible confounders were analyzed among 922 adolescents aged 12-17 years who participated in the Korean National Environmental Health Survey 2016. In males, urinary BPA, BPS, and BPF did not show a significant relationship with the lifetime prevalence of asthma. In females, urinary BPS was higher in the asthma group (p < 0.01). High urinary BPS showed a significant relationship with a high odds ratio (OR) of lifetime asthma prevalence in the model adjusted for possible confounders (p < 0.05). High urinary BPS was particularly associated with an increase in the OR of asthma diagnosed after the age of 60 months (p < 0.01). Urinary BPS was significantly associated with asthma diagnosis, especially after the age of 60 months, among Korean adolescent females.
