Identifying key determinants of bisphenol A exposure: a study utilizing sparse additive models (SpAM) on a cohort of 1332 adult males in South Korea
Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure is a significant concern in South Korea due to high plastic consumption. This study investigates the factors influencing BPA exposure among adult males. Methods: Using data from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey (KoNEHS), Sparse Additive Models...

| description | Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure is a significant concern in
South Korea due to high plastic consumption. This study investigates the factors
influencing BPA exposure among adult males. Methods: Using data from the
Korean National Environmental Health Survey (KoNEHS), Sparse Additive Models
(SpAM) and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze BPA exposure in
1332 adult males, considering eleven variables including age, smoking, alcohol
consumption and food packaging-related factors. Results: Age emerged as
the most significant predictor of BPA exposure. Smoking and alcohol consumption
also showed substantial effects. Packaged and canned food consumption were
also identified as significant contributors, indicating potential leaching from
packaging materials. New furniture purchase showed moderate effects. Conclusions:
This study highlights age, lifestyle factors (smoking and alcohol), and food
packaging as key factors influencing BPA exposure in South Korean adult males.
These findings contribute to the evidence base for public health interventions
aimed at reducing BPA exposure. Future research should explore longitudinal data
and genetic factors for personalized strategies. |
