Abstract Synopsis

  • The study analyzes how exposure to environmental chemicals like BPA, BP3, triclosan, and parabens relates to testosterone levels in children and adolescents, finding that some chemicals are linked to lower or higher testosterone depending on sex and age.
  • In adolescent boys, BP3 and BPA are associated with decreased testosterone, while in girls, BPA correlates with increased testosterone; the effects of TCS and parabens are less clear.
  • The findings suggest sex-specific and age-related differences in how these chemicals impact hormone levels, but the study's cross-sectional nature means more research is needed to confirm these results.]
