ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the relationship between urinary phthalate metabolites and total and specific cardiovascular disease (CVD) among the general adult population. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed 11 urinary phthalates in the general population from the 2005-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (n = 10,427). Multivariate logistic regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were applied to examine the relationship between phthalate metabolites and mixtures and the prevalence rates of total and specific CVD. RESULTS Compared to the lowest quartile, mono-isobutyl phthalate (MiBP) (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.03-1.83, P for trend = 0.032) and mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP) (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.10-1.88, P for trend = 0.013) in the highest quartile were independently associated with increased total CVD. The WQS index of phthalate mixtures was independently correlated with total CVD (adjusted OR 1.17; 95% CI 1.01-1.36, P = 0.039), and MBzP (weight = 0.392) was the most heavily weighted component. In addition, restricted cubic spline regression demonstrated that the MBzP level had a positive correlation and linear association with total CVD (P for nonlinearity = 0.182). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that high phthalate mixture levels are associated with an increased prevalence of CVD, with the greatest influence coming from MBzP.
