    Objective:

    To examine relationships between percent body fat (%BF) and total energy expenditure (TEE) on permethrin exposure among Army National Guard (ARNG) Soldiers wearing permethrin-treated uniforms.

    Methods:

    ARNG members (n=47) participated in a nine-day study. Repeated body composition (height, weight, %BF) measurements and daily urine samples, analyzed for permethrin and N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) metabolites, were collected. TEE was determined via doubly labeled water protocol. Linear mixed and regression models were used for analyses.

    Results:

    Neither %BF nor TEE were significantly associated with permethrin or DEET biomarkers. However, a significant interaction effect (F=10.76; p=0.0027) between laundering history and %BF was observed; 10% higher %BF was significantly associated with 25% higher permethrin biomarker concentrations among those wearing uniforms washed ≤25 (compared to >25) times.

    Conclusions:

    Uniform laundering history significantly affects the association between %BF and permethrin-treated uniform exposure.
