<p style="text-align:start">In one of the first longitudinal studies of its kind, new USC research shows a link&nbsp;between exposure to PFAS and decreased bone mineral density in Hispanic teens and young adults.&nbsp;&nbsp;The researchers studied 304 Hispanic adolescents from the Study of Latino Adolescents at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, collecting blood samples to measure PFAS levels and dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure bone density, then followed up after about one and a half years to check for a change over time. For each doubling of baseline perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), one type of PFAS, participants had an average decrease in bone mineral density of .003 g/cm²&nbsp;per year at follow-up. They also studied 137 young adults, who were 58.4% Hispanic from the Southern California Children&#39;s Health Study. When baseline levels of PFOS doubled, participants had an average of .032 g/cm<sup>2&nbsp
