Association study of urinary iodine concentrations and coronary artery disease among adults in the USA: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2018.

ABSTRACT: Iodine is a vital trace element in the human body and is associated with several important coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors. We aimed to explore the correlation between urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and CAD. Data from 15 793 US adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003-2018) were analysed. We conducted multivariable logistic regression models and fitted smoothing curves to study the correlation between UIC and CAD. Furthermore, we performed subgroup analysis to investigate possible effect modifiers between them. We found a J-shaped association between UIC and CAD, with an inflection point at Lg UIC = 2·65 μg/l. This result indicated a neutral association (OR 0·89; 95 % CI 0·68, 1·16) between UIC and CAD as Lg UIC < 2·65 μg/l, but the per natural Lg [UIC] increment was OR 2·29; 95 % CI 1·53, 3·43 as Lg UIC ≥ 2·65 μg/l. An interaction between diabetes and UIC might exist. The increase in UIC results in an increase in CAD prevalence (OR 1·84, 95 % CI 1·32, 2·58) in diabetes but results in little to no difference in non-diabetes (OR 0·98, 95 % CI 0·77, 1·25). The J-shaped correlation between UIC and CAD and the interaction between diabetes and UIC should be confirmed in a prospective study with a series of UIC measurements. If excessive iodine precedes CAD, then this new finding could guide clinical practice and prevent iodine deficiency from being overcorrected.

Project description:BackgroundPerfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of highly fluorinated aliphatic compounds, which are widely used in commercial applications, including food packaging, textiles, and non-stick cookware. Folate might counteract the effects of environmental chemical exposures. We aimed to explore the relationship between blood folate biomarker concentrations and PFAS concentrations.MethodsThis observational study pooled cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003 to 2016 cycles. NHANES is a population-based national survey that measures the health and nutritional status of the US general population every 2 years by means of questionnaires, physical examination, and biospecimen collection. Folate concentrations in red blood cells and in serum, and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) concentrations in serum were examined. We used multivariable regression models to assess the percentage change in serum PFAS concentrations in relation to changes in folate biomarker concentrations. We additionally used models with restricted cubic splines to investigate the shape of these associations.FindingsThis study included 2802 adolescents and 9159 adults who had complete data on PFAS concentrations, folate biomarkers, and covariates, were not pregnant, and had never had a cancer diagnosis at the time of the survey. The mean age was 15·4 years (SD 2·3) for adolescents and 45·5 years (17·5) for adults. The proportion of male participants was slightly higher in adolescents (1508 [54%] of 2802 participants) than in adults (3940 [49%] of 9159 participants). We found negative associations between red blood cell folate concentrations and serum concentrations of PFOS (percentage change for a 2·7 fold-increase in folate level -24·36%, 95% CI -33·21 to -14·34) and PFNA (-13·00%, -21·87 to -3·12) in adolescents, and PFOA (-12·45%, -17·28 to -7·35), PFOS (-25·30%, -29·67 to -20·65), PFNA (-21·65%, -26·19 to -16·82), and PFHxS (-11·70%, -17·32 to 5·70) in adults. Associations for serum folate concentrations and PFAS were in line with those found for red blood cell folate levels, although the magnitude of the effects was lower. Restricted cubic spline models suggested linearity of the observed associations, particularly for associations in adults.InterpretationIn this large-scale, nationally representative study, we found consistent inverse associations for most examined serum PFAS compounds in relation to folate concentrations measured in either red blood cells or serum among both adolescents and adults. These findings are supported by mechanistic in-vitro studies that show the potential of PFAS to compete with folate for several transporters implicated in PFAS toxicokinetics. If confirmed in experimental settings, these findings could have important implications for interventions to reduce the accumulated PFAS body burden and mitigate the related adverse health effects.FundingUnited States National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Project description:Background2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP), and their precursors are widely used in industry and in consumer products. Urinary concentrations of these dichlorophenols (DCPs) have been measured as part of four National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles in order to assess the exposure to these compounds or their precursors among the general U.S. population.ObjectivesWe identified predictors and evaluated trends in DCP concentrations according to race/ethnicity, age, sex, family income, and housing type.MethodsWe used analysis of covariance to examine associations of various demographic parameters and survey cycle with urinary concentrations of DCPs during NHANES 2003-2010. We also conducted weighted logistic regressions to estimate associations of DCP concentrations above the 95th percentile with housing type, race/ethnicity, and income.ResultsWe detected DCPs in at least 81% of participants. Geometric mean (GM) urinary concentrations were higher for 2,5-DCP (6.1-12.9 μg/L) than 2,4-DCP (0.8-1.0 μg/L) throughout 2003-2010. Adjusted GM concentrations of the DCPs among children (6-11 years of age) and adults > 60 years of age were higher than among adolescents and other adults. Adjusted GM concentrations among non-Hispanic whites were lower than among non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans, although differences according to race/ethnicity were less pronounced among participants in high-income households. Among non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans, adjusted GM concentrations were lowest among high-income participants relative to other income groups, with a monotonic decrease with increasing income among Mexican Americans. Type of housing and race/ethnicity were significant predictors of DCP urinary concentrations above the 95th percentile. Furthermore, urinary DCP concentrations have showed a downward trend since 2003.ConclusionsExposure to DCPs and their precursors was prevalent in the general U.S. population in 2003-2010. We identified age and race/ethnicity, family income, and housing type as predictors of exposure to these compounds.

Project description:ObjectiveThere is limited research on the association between phthalates and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Among adolescents, phthalate exposure, which can occur from multiple sources, has been linked to several risk factors for MetS. The objective was to investigate the association between urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations (i.e., mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-n-butyl phthalate (MnBP), mono-isobutyl phthalate (MiBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), mono-(3-carboxylpropyl) phthalate (MCPP), and di(2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)) and MetS in adolescents aged 12-19 years using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (2003-2014). A secondary aim was to assess if observed associations varied by a measure of socioeconomic status, economic adversity, which was defined using parental income and educational attainment as well as household food security.MethodsWe used NHANES data which included physical examination, laboratory urinalysis and fasting blood profiles, and self-reported health characteristics and demographics. Physical examination and laboratory data were used to obtain values of MetS components and urinary phthalate metabolites. We created age-, sex-, and survey year-specific tertiles of creatinine-corrected urinary phthalate metabolites. Analysis was performed using appropriate weighting procedures that accounted for NHANES' complex sampling design. After univariate and bivariate analyses, we performed adjusted logistic regressions to test for associations between individual phthalate metabolites and MetS as well as MetS components and number of MetS components, separately, using the lowest tertile as the reference category. A cross-product term (phthalate metabolite*economic adversity) was subsequently added to adjusted models.ResultsAmong 918 participants (mean age 16 years, 45% female, 18% with economic adversity), the prevalence of MetS was 5.3%. Prior to adjustment, adolescents with MetS had marginally higher concentrations of phthalate metabolites than adolescents without MetS. There was a suggestive positive association between intermediate concentrations of MnBP and odds of MetS after adjustment (T2: Odds Ratio (OR) = 2.66 (95% confidence interval: 0.98-7.24); T3: OR = 2.11 (0.71-6.27)). Males with higher MnBP concentrations had higher odds of dyslipidemia; however, associations were mostly non-significant for females. Relationships between MiBP concentrations and odds of MetS varied by sex. Males with higher concentrations of MnBP and MiBP had greater odds of having a higher number of MetS components. Relationships between phthalate metabolites and MetS did not vary by economic adversity.ConclusionThere was a suggestive positive association between MnBP and MetS among adolescents. Associations between phthalate metabolites and MetS as well as MetS components may vary by sex, but may not vary by economic adversity. Further research of the relationships between phthalate exposures, MetS, and potential interactions with socioeconomic factors is warranted.
