| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Phthalates are ubiquitous environmental chemicals, which are widely used as plasticizes. Humans are exposed to phthalates since fetal life, and their endocrine disrupting properties has been concerned. However, prenatal exposure to phahalates and their effects on fetus onset of puberty in human are not well known. In this study, onset of puberty were examined among children registered to Sapporo cohort, the Hokkaido Study. Among those approached, 150 (45.6%) responded. Total effects of MEHP (primary metabolite of the most widely used phthalate, DEHP) levels in maternal blood was significantly positively associated with onset of puberty; natural log increase of MEHP (app. 2.67), onset of puberty delayed 7.17（95%CI：2.89-11.5）months among boys. Although progesterone and inhibin B were inversely associated with MEHP, none of hormones showed indirect effect of MEHP to onset of puberty. Girls did not show any association between MEHP, hormones, or onset of puberty.
