Children's exposome associated with changes in serum metabolites
The combined effect of environmental exposures and unhealthy lifestyle habits can affect children’s cardiometabolic health in a way that exceeds their separate effects. A new study from the University of Eastern Finland shows the benefit of measuring the combined effect of multiple environmental and lifestyle factors. An exposome score measuring a combination of environmental and lifestyle exposures was associated with a large number of serum metabolites linked to cardiometabolic health, with a number of these metabolites uniquely associated with the exposome score. The study involved
