Mediating role of systemic inflammation in the association between volatile organic compounds exposure and periodontitis: NHANES 2011-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants which have been suggested to have adverse effects on human health. While the influence of environmental pollutant exposures on periodontitis has attracted elevating attention in recent years, the epidemiological evidence on the association between VOCs exposure and periodontitis was scarce. This study aimed to investigate the potential mediating role of systemic inflammation factors in the complex association between VOCs exposure and periodontitis.

Methods

Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014, we examined the impacts of VOCs exposure on periodontitis. Concentrations of urinary metabolites of VOCs (mVOCs) were measured using electrospray
