Beyond Body Mass Index: Using Anthropometric Measures and Body Composition Indicators to Assess Odds of an Endometriosis Diagnosis
Journal of women's health (2002) ·doi:10.1089/jwh.2016.6128

Background: Body mass index (BMI) and endometriosis have been inversely associated. To address gaps in this research, we examined associations among body composition, endometriosis, and physical activity. Materials and Methods: Women from 1…

Perfluorochemicals and Endometriosis
Epidemiology (Cambridge, Mass.) ·doi:10.1097/ede.0b013e31826cc0cf

BACKGROUND: Environmental chemicals may be associated with endometriosis. No published research has focused on the possible role of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) despite their widespread presence in human tissues. METHODS: We formulated two sam…

Persistent Lipophilic Environmental Chemicals and Endometriosis: The ENDO Study
Environmental health perspectives ·doi:10.1289/ehp.1104432

BACKGROUND: An equivocal literature exists regarding the relation between persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) and endometriosis in women, with differences attributed to methodologies. OBJECTIVES: We assessed the association between …

Urinary Concentrations of Benzophenone-type UV Filters in U.S. Women and Their Association with Endometriosis
Environmental science & technology ·doi:10.1021/es204415a

Benzophenone (BP)-type UV filters are widely used in a variety of personal care products for the protection of skin and hair from UV irradiation. Despite the estrogenic potencies of BP derivatives, few studies have examined the occurrence o…
