The associations between volatile organic compounds exposure and urine flow rate in US adults: NHANES 2011-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Metabolites of volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) have attracted considerable attention in contemporary research. The urine flow rate (UFR) serves as an objective metric for a full evaluation of bladder function. This research aimed to investigate the correlation between mVOCs and UFR.

Methods

We examined mVOCs and UFR data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and 2020. The mVOCs measurements were subjected to log transformation to achieve normal distribution. We used weighted multivariate linear regression models to evaluate the association between mVOCs andUFR. The relationship between mVOCs mixture and UFR was assessed using three different analytical models: Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), weighted quantile
