Identifying factors that hinder bone development in children and adolescents is crucial for preventing osteoporosis. Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been linked reduced mineral density (BMD), although available data, especially adolescents, are limited. We examined the associations between urinary hydroxylated-PAHs (OH-PAHs) lumbar spine BMD, pelvic total BMD among 8-19 years participants (N = 1,332) of 2011-2016 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Weighted linear regressions were employed assess OH-PAHs BMD. Additionally, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) quantile g-computation (Qgcomp) models utilized investigate effect co-exposure PAHs on Several exhibited negative with adolescents. For instance, an increase one unit natural log-transformed levels 1-hydroxypyrene 2&3-Hydroxyphenanthrene was a decrease -0.014 g/cm2 (95% CI: -0.026, -0.002) -0.018 -0.032, -0.004) -0.021 -0.039, -0.003) -0.017 -0.033, -0.001) -0.013 -0.023, -0.016 -0.006) The body mass index modified revealing effects primarily significant overweight/obese individuals but not underweight/normal individuals. Both BKMR model Qgcomp indicated correlation overall seven Our findings revealed exposure might potentially impacting peak mass-an essential factor influencing lifelong skeletal health.
