Data on pesticide exposure was collected using a questionnaire, and blood \nChE activity was assessed using a ChE reactive paper test kit via fingerstick blood sampling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 51.2% of participants had abnormal blood ChE levels. Univariable logistic regression analysis revealed \nthat pesticide-related activities on farms associated with abnormal ChE levels were mixing\/spraying (OR=10.54; \n95%CI=4.63-23.99), assisting or working in areas with pesticide application (OR=5.54; 95%CI=3.45-8.89), and harvesting \n(OR=3.70; 95%CI=2.35-5.82). In a multivariable model (Nagelkerke R2=0.374), mixing\/spraying (OR=4.90; 95%CI=2.03-11.83) and assisting or working in areas with pesticide application (OR=2.61; 95%CI=1.49-4.57) were significantly \nassociated with abnormal ChE levels, but harvesting (OR=1.48; 95%CI=0.84-2.61) was not significant after adjusting for \nsex, age in years, and entering or walking through a farm.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings indicated that Thai adolescents living in farming families are at risk of pesticide exposure, \nparticularly those involved in agricultural activities such as pesticide applicators.
