摘要:
探讨全氟化合物对哮喘儿童和一般儿童肺功能影响的性别差异,为采取有效措施保护儿童心肺功能提供参考.方法 从台湾大学医院就诊的哮喘儿童选取132名,从台北地区7所公立中学随机选取168名一般健康儿童.采用Logistic回归和多重线性回归的方法分析血清全氟辛烷磺酸(perfluorooctanesulfonate,PFOS)和全氟辛酸(perfluo-rooctanoic acid,PFOA)水平对儿童肺功能的影响.结果 儿童哮喘的患病风险随着全氟化合物(perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances,PFAAS)浓度的增加而呈现增高趋势,PFOS与PFOA暴露对儿童哮喘患病风险的优势比分别为1.32(95%CI=1.02~ 1.71)和2.80(95%CI=1.87~4.20).PFOS和PFOA暴露水平与哮喘男童的肺功能水平(FVC,FEV1和FEF25%-75%)呈负相关,男孩血清中PFOS和PFOA水平每增加1μg/L时,FEV1分别下降-0.062(95% CI=-0.106~-0.018)和-0.099(95%CI=-0.197-0.001)L.结论 PFAAs的暴露可以降低儿童肺功能水平,并且男童相较于女童更易感.

Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAAs) exposure on children's lung function,and to provide a reference for making effective measures to protect children's cardio-pulmonary function.Methods A total of 132 asthmatic children were selected from the affiliated hospital of National Taiwan University,and the other 168 non-asthmatic children were chosen from 7 public middle schools in Taipei.Multivariable and logistic regression models were used to examine the influence of PFAAs on lung function parameters and asthmaoutcomes.Results Children were prone to suffer from asthma with the increase of the concentration of PFAAS.And with the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) ranged from 1.32(95% CI--1.02-1.71) for the perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) to 2.80 (95%CI=1.87-4.20) for perfluorooctanic acid (PFOA).When stratified by sex,more significant associations were found in males than in females.PFAAs and PFOA were negatively associated with lung function parameters (FVC,FEV1 and FEF25%-75%) among male asthmatics.For instance,if the levels of PFOS and PFOA increased by 1 μg/L in their serum,FEV1 may decrease by-0.062(95%CI=-0.0106--0.018) and-0.099 L(95%CI=-0.0197--0.001).Conclusion PFAA exposure can impair children's lung function,and and more significant associations were found in males than in females.
