Association between nickel exposure and body compositions in the United States: a population-based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing body fat or decreasing muscle and bone mass were associated with worse health outcomes in the adult population. The effects of nickel exposure on body composition are not known. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between urinary nickel levels and body compositions.

Materials and methods

Two thousand seven hundred sixty-two participants were included in the analysis from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys of 2017-2018 after excluding participants who have missing data on urinary nickel and those with missing all body mass component data. We used weighted generalized linear models to explore the relationship between urinary nickel and body mass components under interpolating missing covariable values. Simul
