Abstract in brief

  • The study aimed to investigate how exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), particularly BPA, phthalates, cadmium, and lead, is linked to estrogen-dependent diseases (EDDs) like PCOS and endometriosis through a meta-analysis.
  • A total of 22 studies involving over 83,000 women were analyzed, revealing significant associations between EDC exposure and risks for various EDDs, such as BPA increasing endometriosis and PCOS risk, and cadmium linked to endometrial cancer.
  • The findings indicate that higher levels of certain phthalate metabolites and cadmium are significantly associated with increased risks of endometriosis and endometrial cancer in women.
