      <b>Introduction</b><br> Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and organochlorines (OCs) are ubiquitous and persistent in the environment and proposed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). They can be transferred across the placenta during pregnancy, and studies suggest that the prenatal period may be particularly sensitive for influences on fetal growth and development. Several studies have ...

    • Maternal serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances and organochlorines and indices of fetal growth: a Scandinavian case-cohort study 

      Lauritzen, Hilde Brun; Larose, Tricia L; Øien, Torbjørn; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Odland, Jon Øyvind; van de Bor, Margot; Jacobsen, Geir Wenberg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-26)
      <b>Background:</b> The associations between prenatal exposure to endocrine disruptive chemicals (EDCs) and fetal growth are inconsistent, and few studies have considered small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth as an outcome. Our current study of Scandinavian parous women aimed to address these inconsistencies and gaps in the literature.<br> <b>Methods:</b> This case–cohort study included 424 ...

    • Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants and child overweight/obesity at 5-year follow-up: a prospective cohort study 

      Lauritzen, Hilde Brun; Larose, Tricia L; Øien, Torbjørn; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Odland, Jon Øyvind; van de Bor, Margot; Jacobsen, Geir W. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-18)
      Background<br> Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), may influence offspring weight gain. More prospective epidemiological studies are needed to compliment the growing body of evidence from animal studies.<p> Methods<br> Serum from 412 pregnant Norwegian and Swedish women participating in a Scandinavian prospective cohort study were collected in 1986–88, and analyses of two ...
