Background

Early life BPA exposure could affect neurobehavior, but few studies have investigated whether there are developmental periods when the fetus or child is more vulnerable to these potential effects.

Objectives

We explored windows of vulnerability to BPA exposure in a multiethnic cohort of 228 mothers and their children from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Methods

We measured urinary BPA concentrations at up to two prenatal and six postnatal time points from the 2nd trimester of pregnancy until the child was age 8 years. At age 8 years, we administered the Behavioral Assessment System for Children-2 (BASC-2), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV. We estimated covariate-adjusted differences in composite scores from each instrument using a multiple informant model designed to identify heightened windows of vulnerability.

Results

Among all children, there was not strong evidence that the associations between BPA and neurobehavior varied by the timing of exposure (Visit × BPA p-values=0.16). However, child sex modified the associations of repeated BPA measures with BASC-2 scores (Visit × Sex × BPA p-values=0.02–0.23). For example, each 10-fold increase in prenatal BPA was associated with more externalizing behaviors in girls (β=6.2, 95% CI: 0.8, 11.6), but not boys (β=−0.8, 95% CI: −5.0, 3.4). In contrast, a 10-fold increase in 8-year BPA was associated with more externalizing behaviors in boys (β=3.9, 95% CI: 0.6, 7.2), but not girls (β=0.3, 95% CI: −3.5, 4.1).

Conclusions

We found that sex-dependent associations between BPA and child neurobehavior may depend on the timing of BPA exposure.
