N2 - Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are persistent chemicals that may affect growth early in life. The authors estimated the associations between maternal plasma levels of PFOS and PFOA and infants' weight, length, and body mass index development during the first year of life. Fourteen hundred women were randomly selected from the Danish National Birth Cohort among those who provided blood samples early in pregnancy and gave birth to liveborn singletons between 1996 and 2002. Weight and length information at 5 and 12 months of age was available for 1,010 children. Multiple linear regression models were used for analyses, and maternal PFOS and PFOA concentrations (ng/mL) were inversely related to children's weight in the first year of life: adjusted regression coefficients: -1.1 g (95% confidence interval (CI): -4.6, 2.3) at 5 months and -5.8 g (95% CI: -10.4, -1.2) at 12 months for PFOS; -10.6 g (95% CI: -30.2, 8.9) at 5 months and -19.7 g (95% CI: -45.9, 6.5) at 12 months for PFOA. A similar pattern was observed for body mass index measurements, and no associations with length were found. After sex stratification, the inverse associations with weight and body mass index were more pronounced in boys, and no clear association was seen for girls.
