Burden of Coronary Heart Disease and Cancer from Dietary Exposure to Inorganic Arsenic in Adults in China, 2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Inorganic arsenic (iAs) can cause a wide range of health problems, including coronary heart disease (CHD) and lung, bladder, and skin cancer. Although dietary iAs intake is the primary source of iAs, the burden of CHD and cancers from dietary iAs exposure in Chinese adults has not been well known.

Methods

To estimate the iAs exposure level in Chinese adults' diet, we systematically collected food-specific iAs concentrations in China from Chinese and English literature databases during 2000-2020. Food consumption was extracted from two nationwide food and nutrition surveys in China. The population attributable fraction was calculated based on the dose-response relationship between iAs and CHD risk. Combining the 2016 Chinese tumor registry data, we c
