Linking public health, housing, and indoor environmental policy: successes and challenges at local and federal agencies in the United States.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may affect body mass index (BMI) and other components of cardiometabolic (CM) risk during childhood, but evidence is scarce and inconsistent. OBJECTIVES:We estimated associations between prenatal PFAS exposures and outcomes relevant to cardiometabolic risk, including a compo...
