Association between insecticide exposomics and cognitive function in older adults: an observational study based on NHANES 2011-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to investigate the association between exposure to insecticide exposomics and cognitive function, among adults aged 60 and above.

Methods

We employed a multi-stage probability sampling method to analyze data derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2011 and 2014. The study investigated the impact of insecticides exposure on cognitive performance, as measured by the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) Word Learning Test (CERAD-WL), CERAD Delayed Recall Test (CERAD-DR), Animal Fluency Test (ATF), and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the impact, with adjustments for sociodemographic and lifestyle variables, and subgr
