Predicted 10-year ASCVD risk
1 paper4 findings
A human study associates total PCB exposure with higher predicted 10-year ASCVD risk cross-sectionally, and persistent high PCB-118 exposure with a greater longitudinal increase and transition to predicted high-risk status. Its analysis identifies 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α as a mediator of the association between PCBs and predicted risk.
