Study on the association between chemicals in food packaging and cardiovascular disease

an analysis of 1,216 individuals by
at the
University of West Virginia School of Public Health in Morgan, Md., showed a link between
PFOA
and
circulatory diseases
.cardiovascular disease

CVD
) and perivascular artery disease (
PAD
)
are the hallmarks of atherosclerosis
, taking the representative
adults
group as an example,
the
the study cited data from the
1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
,
investigated the association between
blood
PFOA
levels
and
CVD,
PAD
.
results show that
increasing PFAA
levels in the blood
are closely related to
CVD and PAD, and
does not appear to be related to age, gender, race, smoking status, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol levels.Health Impacts "
Our results help shape the health effects of
perfluorocarbon-based
chemicals
Data
, the first indication that
CVD and PAD are highly likely to be associated with
PFOA exposure

"
researchers said.
"
, due to the representativeness of current research, we cannot determine its causality."
in summary, using the typical representative case of americans, through
CVD self-reporting and PA objective inspection,
we found that
CVD and PAD are definitely related to
high levels of PFAA. More research is needed in the future to confirm or refute our findings.

Debabrata Mukherjee
, Center for Health Sciences, Texas Tech, commented on the analysis:
"
These results
will help
further refine PFAA adverse health data, suggesting that CVD may be associated with PFA exposure.""
clear that clinicians must pay high attention to this study and need to do more forward-looking research to sort out the true adverse effects of PFAA on
cardiovascular
.Debabrata Mukherjee said
legislation and regulations should be passed to limit or eliminate the use of PFAA and related chemicals
