Abstract:

Bisphenol A (BPA) and triclosan (TCS) are both endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and pregnant women are usually exposed to them through daily consumption. This study aimed to explore the relationship between prenatal BPA and TCS exposure and allergic diseases in childhood by systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched the topic of prenatal BPA and TCS exposure and allergic diseases in childhood published before March 22, 2021, in four databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane. Statistical analysis was completed using Stata software (version 16.0). Seven papers on BPA and four papers on TCS were included in this meta-analysis. The association between prenatal exposure to BPA and total allergic diseases in childhood showed a pooled effect estimate of 1.13 (95% CI, 1.04, 1.23), with I= 0.0% (P = 0.615). The effect estimates between BPA exposure and each allergic disease were 1.18 (95% CI, 1.02, 1.36) for wheezing, 1.23 (95% CI, 1.01, 1.50) for asthma, 1.03 (95% CI, 0.89, 1.18) for eczema/rashes or hives, and 1.19 (95% CI, 0.91, 1.56) for aeroallergies. Prenatal exposure to TCS had no association with the four types of allergic disease in childhood. BPA exposure during the prenatal period was positively associated with allergic disease in childhood. Strengthening prenatal EDC exposure control is necessary for child health.
