Association of metals and bisphenols exposure with lipid profiles and dyslipidemia in Chinese adults: Independent, combined and interactive effects. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174315. [PMID: 38942316 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although studies have assessed the association of metals and bisphenols with lipid metabolism, the observed results have been controversial, and limited knowledge exists about the combined and interactive effects of metals and bisphenols exposure on lipid metabolism. METHODS Plasma metals and serum bisphenols concentrations were evaluated in 888 participants. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression models were conducted to assess individual associations of 18 metals and 3 bisphenols with 5 lipid profiles and dyslipidemia risk, respectively. The dose-response relationships of targeted contaminants with lipid profiles and dyslipidemia risk were captured by applying a restriction cubic spline (RCS) function. The bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model was used to assess the overall effects of metals and bisphenols mixture on lipid profiles and dyslipidemia risk. The interactive effects of targeted contaminants on interested outcomes were explored by constructing an interaction model. RESULTS Single-contaminant analyses revealed that exposure to iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), strontium (Sr), and tin (Sn) was associated with elevated lipid levels. Cobalt (Co) showed a negative association with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol AF (BPAF) were associated with decreased HDL-C levels, with nonlinear associations observed. Vanadium (V), lead (Pb), and silver (Ag) displayed U-shaped dose-response relationships with most lipid profiles. Multi-contaminant analyses indicated positive trends between contaminants mixture and total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C). The interaction analyses showed that Se-Fe exhibited synergistic effects on LDL-C and non-HDL-C, and Se-Sn showed a synergistic effect on HDL-C. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that exposure to metals and bisphenols was associated with changes in lipid levels, and demonstrated their combined and interactive effects.

Associations between individual and mixed urinary metal exposure and dyslipidemia among Chinese adults: Data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort Study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 282:116696. [PMID: 38986334 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
The prevalence of dyslipidemia is increasing, and it has become a significant global public health concern. Some studies have demonstrated contradictory relationships between urinary metals and dyslipidemia, and the combined effects of mixed urinary metal exposure on dyslipidemia remain ambiguous. In this study, we examined how individual and combined urinary metal exposure are associated with the occurrence of dyslipidemia. According to the data from the 2018-2019 baseline survey database of the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) Study, a population of 9348 individuals was studied. Inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure 21 urinary metal concentrations in the collected adult urinary samples. The associations between urinary metals and dyslipidemia were analyzed by logistic regression, weighted quantile sum regression (WQS), and quantile-based g-computation (qgcomp), controlled for potential confounders to examine single and combined effects. Dyslipidemia was detected in 3231 individuals, which represented approximately 34.6 % of the total population. According to the single-exposure model, Al and Na were inversely associated with the risk of dyslipidemia (OR = 0.95, 95 % CI: 0.93, 0.98; OR = 0.89, 95 % CI: 0.83, 0.95, respectively), whereas Zn, Ca, and P were positively associated (OR = 1.69, 95 % CI: 1.42, 2.01; OR = 1.12, 95 % CI: 1.06, 1.18; OR = 1.21, 95 % CI: 1.09, 1.34, respectively). Moreover, Zn and P were significantly positively associated even after adjusting for these metals, whereas Al and Cr were negatively associated with the risk of dyslipidemia. The results of the WQS and qgcomp analyses showed that urinary metal mixtures were positively associated with the risk of dyslipidemia (OR = 1.26, 95 % CI: 1.15, 1.38; OR = 1.09, 95 % CI: 1.01, 1.19). This positive association was primarily driven by Zn, P, and Ca. In the sensitivity analyses with collinearity diagnosis, interaction, and stratified analysis, the results remained, confirming the reliability of the study findings. In this study, the individual and combined effects of urinary Zn, P, and Ca on dyslipidemia were determined, which provided novel insights into the link between exposure to metals and dyslipidemia.

Huang JH, Wu Y, He W, Wang JX, Fu L, Chen X. Association between blood arsenic concentration and dyslipidemia: Mediating effect of lipid peroxidation in the elderly. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 82:127366. [PMID: 38103515 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2023.127366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The earlier investigations have revealed heavy metals exposure is implicated in the pathogenesis of dyslipidemia. The goal was to evaluated the relationship of blood arsenic (As) concentration with dyslipidemia in the elderly through a cross-sectional study. METHODS The entire 360 elderly population were selected. Fasting blood specimens, demographic information, and clinical characteristics were obtained. The concentration of blood As was detected using ICP-MS. Serum 8-iso-PGF2α, a biomarker of lipid peroxidation, was measured by ELISA. RESULTS Pearson correlative analysis hinted there were strong relationships of blood As with liver function indices in the elderly. Besides, blood As was positively associated with total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA I). Further multivariate linear and logistic regression suggested that the incidences of TC and LDL-C elevation were upregulated with the rising tertiles of blood As. Blood As was positively related with the prevalence of dyslipidemia (OR=3.609; 95%CI: 1.353, 6.961). Additionally, serum 8-iso-PGF2α was dramatically and positively linked to the levels of blood As and lipid profiles. Mediation analyses verified that 8-iso-PGF2α partially mediated the correlations between blood As with TC (36.63%) and LDL-C (34.03%). CONCLUSION Blood As concentration is positively related to lipid profiles in the elderly. Higher blood As concentration elevates the prevalence of dyslipidemia. Lipid peroxidation partially mediates the correlation of As exposure with dyslipidemia.
