Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) has been shown to affect brain and behavior in rodents and nonhuman primates, but there are few studies focusing on its relationship to human neurobehavior. We aimed to investigate the relationship between environmental exposure to BPA and childhood neurobehavior. Methods: Urinary BPA concentrations and behavioral and learning characteristics were assessed in a general population of 1,089 children, aged 8-11 years. The mainoutcomemeasures were the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) andthe Learning Disability Evaluation Scale (LDES). Results: Urinary levels of BPA were positively associated with the CBCL total problems score and negatively associated with the learning quotient from the LDES. The linear association with the CBCL anxiety/depression score and the quadratic association with the LDES listening score were significant after correction for multiple comparisons. Conclusions: Environmental exposure to BPA might be associated with childhood behavioral and learning development. Theresults suggestpossiblenonmonotonicrelationships.
