Associations Between Blood Metal Exposure and Hypertriglyceridemia Among Adults in NHANES, 2011-2018.

ABSTRACT: Growing evidence indicates associations between blood metal exposure and dyslipidemia. However, the relationships between hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), the most prevalent form of dyslipidemia, and blood metal exposure remain unclear. Our study aimed to evaluate both single and combined effects of blood metals on HTG risk. This study included 4182 adults from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We assessed single and combined associations between blood metals (cadmium, mercury, lead, selenium, and manganese) and HTG. In single metal analysis, elevated blood selenium concentrations were significantly associated with increased HTG risk and triglyceride (TG) levels, with OR (95% CI) and β (95% CI) of 1.78 (1.36, 2.32) and 0.21 (0.13, 0.29), respectively, in the highes
