This study aimed to explore the associations between urinary levels of perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate and cognitive function and cognitive function in older adults.

Abstract

It is well‐known that perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate are thyroid‐disrupting chemicals. Evidence regarding the cognitive correlates of thyroid‐disrupting anions in older adults remains scarce, particularly in population‐based studies assessing multiple cognitive domains. Our study aimed to explore the associations between urinary levels of perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate and cognitive function.
