Background: Exposure to phthalate esters may be linked to the risk of high blood pressure (HBP), but limited evidence is available in Chinese children.
Objective: To investigate the associations between nine phthalate metabolites (mPAEs) and systolic/diastolic BP, pulse pressure (PP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and the risk of HBP.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 1044 primary school children (6-8 years old) were enrolled from Shenzhen, China, between 2016 and 2017.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess dental caries and its relationship with Body Mass Index (BMI) among over 1.1 million primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen, China, during the 2016-2017 academic year.
- Findings showed a high prevalence of dental caries at 41.15%, with girls and private school students experiencing higher rates, while only 10.30% of those affected had received restorations.
- Interestingly, overweight or obese children were found to be at lower risk for dental caries compared to those with normal weight.
