Abstract
Phthalates are widely used in consumer products, and experimental studies suggest that exposure to phthalates increase the risk of allergies. However, epidemiologic evidence on the associations between prenatal phthalate exposure and allergies/infectious diseases and cord blood immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between maternal mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) levels and cord blood IgE levels at birth (n=127), as well as the risk of allergies/infectious diseases in participants up to 7years of age; the participants were 1.5 (n=248), 3.5 (n=222), 7 (n=184) years of age. Maternal blood MEHP level in the second trimester was measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Participant characteristics were obtained from the medical birth records and self-administered questionnaires during pregnancy and after delivery. Wheeze and eczema were defined according to the Japanese version of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood and the American Thoracic Society-Division of Lung Diseases questionnaire, respectively. Infectious diseases were defined using questionnaires for each specified age. To evaluate the associations between maternal MEHP and allergies...Continue Reading
