Association between exposure to volatile organic compounds and atherogenic index of plasma in NHANES 2011-2018.

ABSTRACT: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are prevalent in daily life, yet the relationship between VOCs exposure and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) remains inadequately explored, especially in populations with high levels of exposure. This study aims to investigate the non-linear association between VOCs exposure and AIP in the U.S. adult population. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected between 2011 and 2018 were analyzed. A range of statistical techniques, including Spearman's correlation analysis, weighted quantile sum (WQS), multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS), stratified threshold models, and bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), were systematically employed to assess the relationship between high-dose VOCs
