Association between Exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds and the Prevalence of Sleep Problems in US Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While mounting evidence suggests a connection between environmental contaminants and sleep problems, it remains uncertain whether exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) specifically is associated with such problems.

Methods

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey program's five survey cycles (2005-2006, 2011-2018) were used to conduct cross-sectional research. Data on short sleep duration (SSD) and self-reported trouble sleeping were collected from questionnaire data. Data on urine VOCs were gathered from laboratory data. The association between urinary VOCs and sleep problems was examined using weighted generalized linear models and the restricted cubic spline (RCS), weighted quantile sum (WQS), and quantile-based g-calculation (QGC)
