    Exposure to obesogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals and obesity among youth of Latino or Hispanic origin in the United States and Latin America: A lifecourse perspective
    (Wiley, 2021-02-26) Perng, Wei; Cantoral, Alejandra; Soria Contreras, Diana Cristina; Betanzos, Larissa; Kordas, Katarzyna; Liu, Yun; Mora, Ana Maria; Corvalan, Camila; Pereira, Anita; Cardoso, Marly; Chavarro, Jorge; Breton, Carrie; Meeker, John; Harley, Kim; Eskenazi, Brenda; Peterson, Karen; Téllez Rojo, Martha
    Following a 2019 workshop led by the Center for Global Health Studies at the Fogarty International Center on the topic of childhood obesity prevention and research synergies transpiring from cross-border collaborations, we convened a group of experts in the United States and Latin America to conduct a narrative review of the epidemiological literature on the role of obesogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the etiology of childhood obesity among Latino youth in the United States and Latin America. In addition to summarizing and synthesizing results from research on this topic published within the last decade, we place the findings within a lifecourse biobehavioral framework to aid in identification of unique exposure-outcome relationships driven by both biological and behavioral research, identify inconsistencies and deficiencies in current literature, and discuss the role of policy regulations, all with the goal of identifying viable avenues for prevention of early life obesity in Latino/Hispanic populations.
