<h4>Background</h4>Half of the adults with current asthma among the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) participants could be classified in more than one hypothesis-driven phenotype. A data-driven approach applied to the same subjects may allow a more useful classification compared to the hypothesis-driven one.<h4>Aim</h4>To compare previously defined hypothesis-driven with newly derived data-driven asthma phenotypes, identified by latent class analysis (LCA), in adults ...[more]

Project description:Evidence for distinct asthma phenotypes and their overlap is becoming increasingly relevant to identify personalized and targeted therapeutic strategies. In this study, we aimed to describe the overlap of five commonly reported asthma phenotypes in US adults with current asthma and assess its association with asthma outcomes.Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2007-2012 were used (n?=?30,442). Adults with current asthma were selected. Asthma phenotypes were: B-Eos-high [if blood eosinophils (B-Eos) ??300/mm3]; FeNO-high (FeNO???35 ppb); B-Eos&FeNO-low (B-Eos?<?150/mm3 and FeNO?<?20 ppb); asthma with obesity (AwObesity) (BMI???30 kg/m2); and asthma with concurrent COPD. Data were weighted for the US population and analyses were stratified by age (<?40 and ??40 years old).Of the 18,619 adults included, 1059 (5.6% [95% CI 5.1-5.9]) had current asthma. A substantial overlap was observed both in subjects aged <?40 years (44%) and ??40 years (54%). The more prevalent specific overlaps in both age groups were AwObesity associated with either B-Eos-high (15 and 12%, respectively) or B-Eos&FeNO-low asthma (13 and 11%, respectively). About 14% of the current asthma patients were "non-classified". Regardless of phenotype classification, having concomitant phenotypes was significantly associated with (adjusted OR, 95% CI) ??2 controller medications (2.03, 1.16-3.57), and FEV1?<?LLN (3.21, 1.74-5.94), adjusted for confounding variables.A prevalent overlap of commonly reported asthma phenotypes was observed among asthma patients from the general population, with implications for objective asthma outcomes. A broader approach may be required to better characterize asthma patients and prevent poor asthma outcomes.

Project description:Environmental exposure to phthalates may contribute to an increased risk of asthma in children and adults. We aimed to assess the direction and strength of the association between urinary phthalates metabolites and current asthma in children and adults that participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2012. Data on ten urinary phthalate metabolites, self-reported questionnaires, spirometry measures, and covariates were obtained from 7765 participants (28.1% were children aged 6-17 years) taking part in the NHANES 2007-2012. Asthma was assessed using self-reported questionnaires for children and adults, and via spirometry measures for adults alone. We used crude and adjusted logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) per one log10 unit change in the concentration of phthalate metabolites. We further modeled the effect modification by sex. Out of 10 metabolites, only mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP) was positively associated with the prevalence of self-reported asthma in children, after adjusting for a range of potential confounders (odds ratio 1.54; 95% confidence interval 1.05-2.27). No significant relationship was observed for adults. The association of mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP) was modified by sex, with significantly increased odds of asthma among males [boys (2.00; 1.14-3.51); adult males (1.32; 1.04-1.69)]. While no other phthalates showed a positive relationship with current asthma in males, mono-(carboxynonyl) phthalate (MCNP) and mono-(3-carboxylpropyl) phthalate (MCPP) were inversely associated with spirometrically defined asthma in adult females. A sex-specific relationship in adults was evident when spirometry, but not self-reported measures were used to define asthma. We found no clear association between exposure to phthalates and current asthma, except for a significant relationship between MBzP metabolites and self-reported asthma in children. As a result, exposure to phthalates and asthma development and/or exacerbations remains controversial, suggesting a need for a well-designed longitudinal study.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the association between dietary carotenoid intake and asthma using data from a nationally representative sample of US adults.DesignCross-section study.SettingThe National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2012.ParticipantsA total of 13 039 participants aged 20-80 years (current asthma n=1784, non-current asthma n=11 255) were included in this study.Primary and secondary outcome measuresAsthma was defined by self-report questionnaires. Weighted logistic regression analyses and the smooth curve fittings were performed to explore the association between total carotenoid intake, dietary carotenoid subgenera, including (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein with zeaxanthin and lycopene) and the risk of asthma.ResultsThe ORs with 95% CIs of dietary α-carotene, dietary β-carotene, dietary β-cryptoxanthin, total lutein with zeaxanthin, total lycopene, dietary carotenoid and total carotenoid intake for individuals with current asthma after adjusting the confounders in model 3 were 0.80 (0.67 to 0.95), 0.67 (0.57 to 0.79), 0.68 (0.55 to 0.85), 0.77 (0.61 to 0.98), 0.71 (0.57 to 0.87), 0.75 (0.59 to 0.96) and 0.61 (0.48 to 0.76) in the highest versus lowest quartile, respectively. The smooth curve fittings suggested a non-linear relationship between total carotenoid intake and the risk of current asthma.ConclusionsHigher intake of a-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein with zeaxanthin and total carotenoid were associated with lower odds of having current asthma in the US adults. This is a cross-sectional study and no causal relationship can be drawn, so caution is needed to interpret the results.

Project description:Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are widespread environmental contaminants that are known nephrotoxins. However, their nephrotoxic effects at low-environmental exposure levels are debated.We examined the association of blood Pb (B-Pb), blood Cd (B-Cd), urinary Pb (U-Pb) and urinary Cd (U-Cd) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin (ALB).We used multivariate linear regression to analyze the association between B-Pb, B-Cd, U-Pb, and U-Cd with eGFR and ALB in adult participants (?20 years of age) in NHANES 2007-2012. The dataset was limited to NHANES individuals with both blood and urinary metal measurements.We found a statistically significant inverse association between eGFR and B-Cd and statistically significant positive associations between eGFR and both U-Cd and U-Pb, as well as statistically significant associations between ALB and the 3rd and 4th quartiles of U-Cd.The inverse association between eGFR and B-Cd, in conjunction with positive associations between eGFR and ALB with U-Cd, suggest that U-Cd measurement at low levels of exposure may result from changes in renal excretion of Cd due to kidney function and protein excretion. However, renal effects such as hyperfiltration from Cd-mediated kidney damage or creatinine-specific Cd effects cannot be excluded with this cross-sectional design.

Project description:Nitromethane is a known toxicant and suspected human carcinogen. Exposure to nitromethane in a representative sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population in the United States ?12 years old was assessed using 2007-2012 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Nitromethane was detected in all 8000 human blood samples collected, of which 6730 were used for analyses reported here. Sample-weighted median blood nitromethane was higher among exclusive combusted tobacco users (exclusive smokers; 774 ng/L) than nonusers of tobacco products (625 ng/L). In stratified sample-weighted regression analysis, smoking 0.5 pack of cigarettes per day was associated with a statistically significant increase in blood nitromethane by 150 ng/L, and secondhand smoke exposure (serum cotinine >0.05 ng/mL and <10 ng/mL) was statistically significant with a 31.1 ng/L increase in blood nitromethane. Certain dietary sources were associated with small but statistically significant increases in blood nitromethane. At median consumption levels, blood nitromethane was associated with an increase of 7.55 ng/L (meat/poultry), 9.32 ng/L (grain products), and 14.5 ng/L (vegetables). This is the first assessment of the magnitude and relative source apportionment of nitromethane exposure in the U.S. population.

Project description:To describe the estimated prevalence and temporal trends of chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatment patterns, and the association between CKD and potential factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in different demographic subgroups.This was a cross-sectional analysis of adults with T2DM based on multiple US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets developed during 2007-2012. CKD severity was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 guidelines using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation: mild to moderate=stages 1-3a; moderate to kidney failure=stages 3b-5. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between CKD and potential factors.Of the adult individuals with T2DM (n=2006), age-adjusted CKD prevalence was 38.3% during 2007-2012; 77.5% were mild-to-moderate CKD. The overall age-adjusted prevalence of CKD was 40.2% in 2007-2008, 36.9% in 2009-2010, and 37.6% in 2011-2012. The prevalence of CKD in T2DM was 58.7% in patients aged ≥65 years, 25.7% in patients aged <65 years, 43.5% in African-Americans and Mexican-Americans, and 38.7% in non-Hispanic whites. The use of antidiabetes and antihypertensive medications generally followed treatment guideline recommendations. Older age, higher hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and having hypertension were significantly associated with CKD presence but not increasing severity of CKD.CKD continued to be prevalent in the T2DM population; prevalence remained fairly consistent over time, suggesting that current efforts to prevent CKD could be improved overall, especially by monitoring certain populations more closely.

Project description:The prevalence of diabetes in United States (US) immigrants is higher than the general population. Non-citizenship and lack of health insurance have been associated with increased health risks including diabetes, but previous US studies were done in non-representative samples and did not examine the effect on glycemic management. The purpose of this study was to compare demographic, metabolic, and behavioral risk factors for increased blood glucose including citizenship and health insurance status, and determine predictors of poor glycemic management (A1C ≥ 8.0%). Logistic regression was used to analyze data from the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) of persons with diabetes and available citizenship data ages 30 to 70 years (N = 2702), excluding persons with A1C < 5% and pregnant women. Results represent the weighted sample. Among participants, 92% indicated citizenship by birth (81%) or naturalization (11%). Insured rates increased from 83% to 91% between 2007 and 2008 and 2015-2016 (p < .001). Citizenship was positively associated with insurance status, higher income and education, better diet, increased smoking, and more sedentary hours (ps < .05). Non- citizens (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.20-2.51) and uninsured persons (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.53-2.59) were nearly twice as likely to have poor glycemic management than US citizens by naturalization and insured individuals respectively. We conclude that citizenship and absence of health insurance negatively impacts diabetes management. Policy decisions are needed that address primary and secondary prevention strategies for individuals without citizenship and health insurance to reduce diabetes burden in the US.

Project description:Asthma Call-back Survey methodology has been changed recently, as a new sampling design, weights calculation (2011-2012), and revised work-related asthma (WRA) section (2012) were implemented. To assess the effect of these changes on the WRA and possible WRA estimates among ever-employed adults with current asthma, we analyzed 2007-2012 data for 37?505 ever-employed adults (?18 years) collected from 19 US states (representing an estimated 10 million adults each year).Using data from landline telephone (LLP) households, we calculated estimates applying poststratification weights (2007-2010) and "raking" weights (2011-2012). Also, using data from LLP/cellular telephone (CP) households combined, we calculated estimates applying "raking" weights (2012).Based on LLP household data, the WRA estimates ranged from 7.8% to 9.7% during 2007-2010, was 9.1% in 2011 and 15.4% in 2012. Possible WRA estimates ranged from 35.1% to 38.1% during 2007-2010, was 38.1% in 2011 and 39.8% in 2012. Using the 2012 LLP/CP household data, the WRA and possible WRA estimates were 15.4% and 38.9%, respectively.Implementation of "raking" weights did not substantially change the WRA or possible WRA estimates among ever-employed adults with current asthma. The WRA and possible WRA estimates based on LLP and LLP/CP samples in 2012 were comparable, as CP users are younger and less likely to have WRA. The substantial upward shift in the 2012 WRA estimates likely was associated with the revision to the WRA section.

Project description:Prevalence and factors associated with obstructive and restrictive lung function in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unknown.Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses.Participants aged 40 to 79 years from NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) 2007 to 2012 who underwent spirometry testing.CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] >15-<60mL/min/1.73m(2) or urinary albumin-creatinine ratio ? 30mg/g).Restrictive lung function (defined as FEV1/FVC?0.70 and baseline FVC<80% predicted), obstructive lung function (defined as FEV1/FVC<0.70 based on postbronchodilator spirometric results), and mortality data (available for 2007-2008 and 2009-2010 survey periods).7,610 participants (CKD=1,338; non-CKD=6,272) were included. Prevalences of obstructive lung function adjusted to the mean age of 55 years and 50% men in the CKD and non-CKD groups were 15.6% and 13.3%, respectively (P=0.2). Similarly, adjusted prevalences of restrictive lung function in the CKD and non-CKD groups were 9.8% and 6.7%, respectively (P=0.01). Presence of albumin-creatinine ratio ? 30mg/g was associated with obstructive (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.07-1.88) and restrictive lung function (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.01-2.03) in the entire study cohort. eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m(2) was associated with higher odds of obstructive lung function. In a multivariable Cox model, age (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04-1.11) and presence of obstructive lung function (HR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.80-3.97), but not CKD measures, were associated with death.Small proportion of participants with advanced kidney disease.In a representative sample of US adults, impaired lung function is common in those with and without CKD. Albuminuria was independently associated with both obstructive and restrictive lung function, and eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m(2) was associated with higher odds of obstructive lung function. Older age and obstructive lung function were associated with higher likelihood of death. Further studies examining the burden of lung disease in advanced CKD are needed.

Project description:In order to prevent cardiovascular endpoints, control of diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia is a necessity as those risk factors frequently occur in combination. Prevalence trends of concurrent diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in 36,673 subjects were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999-2012. The prevalence of concurrent diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia increased from 3% in 1999-2000 to 6.3% in 2011-2012 (P < 0.001). The diabetes with concurrent hypertension or hypercholesterolemia incidences also increased significantly, while the occurrence of concurrent hypertension and hypercholesterolemia was stable over the study period. Overall medical drug treatments for concurrent diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia were improved from 69.8% in 1999-2006, to 82.4% in 2007-2012 (P = 0.002). Treatment cost coverage rates in any combinations with diabetes were 79-82.4% and 90.7% in the subgroup of concurrent hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. General treatment goal achievement rates were <25%, the lowest rate being 14.2% in the subject groups with three combined risk factors. The treatment goal achievement rates in two subgroups with concurrent diabetes were 20.1% (with hypertension) and 17% (with hypercholesterolemia) and 24.5% in the group without diabetes. Cost coverage improved in all combinations, but the general treatment goal achievement rates were low, especially in the groups with concurrent diabetes.
