Abstract:
Personal care products can contain phthalates, parabens and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals. However, information on perception of risks from personal care product use and how use varies by race and ethnicity is limited. We evaluated differences in personal care product use and risk perception in a diverse sample of participants recruited from a US college campus and online. A self-administered questionnaire captured information on sociodemographic factors, personal care product use trends and perception of risk associated with them. Pearson\'s chi-square and Fisher\'s exact tests were used to determine differences in personal care product use and risk perception by race and ethnicity. Ordered logistic regressions were performed to measure associations between personal care product use frequency across racial/ethnic categories. Participant (n = 770) mean age was 22.8 years [standard deviation ± 6.0]. Daily use of make-up (eye = 29.3%; other = 38.0%; all = 33.7%) and skincare products (55%) was most frequently reported among Middle Eastern and North African participants. Non-Hispanic Black participants reported the highest daily use of hairstyling products (52%) and lotion (78%). Daily make-up use was more frequently reported among females (41%) than males (24.6%). Levels of agreement were similar across racial and ethnic groups, that personal care product manufacturers should be required to list all ingredients (≥87%). There were significant associations between the frequency of use of some personal care products and racial/ethnic categories when the use frequencies of participants from other racial/ethnic categories were compared to the use frequency of non-Hispanic White participants. There were significant differences in daily use frequency, levels of trust, perception of safety and health risks associated with personal care products by race and ethnicity, underscoring that there may be different sources of exposure to chemicals in personal care products by race and ethnicity.
摘要:
个人护理产品可能含有邻苯二甲酸酯,对羟基苯甲酸酯和其他干扰内分泌的化学物质。然而,关于个人护理产品使用风险的感知以及使用情况如何因种族和族裔而异的信息有限。我们评估了从美国大学校园和在线招募的不同参与者样本中个人护理产品使用和风险感知的差异。一份自我管理的问卷记录了社会人口统计学因素的信息,个人护理产品的使用趋势和与之相关的风险认知。Pearson的卡方检验和Fisher的精确检验用于确定个人护理产品使用和种族和种族风险感知的差异。进行有序逻辑回归以测量跨种族/族裔类别的个人护理产品使用频率之间的关联。参与者(n=770)平均年龄为22.8岁[标准偏差±6.0]。在中东和北非参与者中,每天使用化妆品(眼睛=29.3%;其他=38.0%;全部=33.7%)和护肤品(55%)的报告最频繁。非西班牙裔黑人参与者报告说,美发产品(52%)和乳液(78%)的每日使用量最高。女性(41%)的日常化妆使用频率高于男性(24.6%)。不同种族和族裔群体的协议水平相似,个人护理产品制造商应被要求列出所有成分(≥87%)。当将来自其他种族/族裔类别的参与者的使用频率与非西班牙裔白人参与者的使用频率进行比较时,某些个人护理产品的使用频率与种族/族裔类别之间存在显着关联。日常使用频率有显著差异,信任水平,按种族和种族划分的与个人护理产品相关的安全和健康风险的感知,强调个人护理产品中化学物质的暴露来源可能因种族和种族而异。
