Impact of Real-life Environmental Exposures on Reproduction: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals, reproductive aging, and menopause.
Abstract
This review article highlights the associations between endocrine-disrupting chemicals, reproductive aging, and menopause. Collectively, the current literature indicates that phthalates, bisphenols, parabens, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, and pesticides are associated with reproductive aging in women and animal models.

Research summary
The paper discusses the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on reproductive aging and menopause, which are relevant to the broader context of aging and longevity. However, it primarily focuses on associations rather than addressing root causes or mechanisms of aging. The findings contribute to understanding environmental factors in reproductive health but do not significantly advance the field of longevity research or lifespan extension. Thus, while it is relevant, its impact is limited.
