Abstract
This study examined the association between triclocarban and obesity among US adults and compared the pattern of this association across age, gender, and racial/ethnic groups. Study found triclocarban to be associated with obesity (OR: OR:1.123 95% CI: 1.046, 1.205) and this association remained among women (OR:1.14 95% CI: 1.031, 1.261). Study participants aged 60 years and older were more likely to be overweight (OR:1.131 95% CI: 1.022 1.251) and obese (OR:1.192 95% CI: 1.079, 1.317) when compared to other age groups. Likewise, non-Hispanic whites (OR:1.126 95% CI: 1.003, 1.263) and "other race including multi-racial" (OR:1.431 95% CI: 1.219, 1.679) were more likely to be obese when compared to other racial/ethnic groups. In conclusion, triclocarban is associated with obesity among US adults and there is evidence of gender, age, and racial/ethnicity differences in the association.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
