Environmental Contaminant Body Burdens and the Relationship with Blood Pressure Measures among Indigenous Adolescents Using Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression: Results from the Nituuchischaayihtitaau Aschii

2021

Zuk, A.M., Liberda, E.N., & Tsuji, L.J.S.

Description

Drawing from data collected from the Multi-Community Environment-and-Health Study, the authors examined the body burdens of environmental contaminants and blood pressure measurements among First Nations adolescents from Eeyou Istchee, Quebec. Findings found high loads from polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, which may adversely affect blood pressure measures among First Nation youths.
