In 451 children from a French cohort, six PFAS were detected in 93% to 100% of serum samples.

Across the cohort, higher perfluoroundecanoic acid concentrations were associated with higher total and LDL cholesterol.

Among pre-menarcheal girls, perfluorohexane sulfonate and the combined PFAS mixture were associated with higher total and LDL cholesterol.
4
Among early-pubertal boys, perfluorononanoic acid and perfluorodecanoic acid were associated with higher triglycerides; among postpubertal boys, perfluorooctane sulfonate was associated with lower tri

Because PFAS and metabolic markers were measured at the same time, the study could not establish causality or determine whether lipid differences persist into adulthood.
