Association of N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) with arthritis among adult participants.

Background: N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), an active ingredient prevalent in insect repellents, has its effects on human health under ongoing debate and scrutiny.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between exposure to DEET and arthritis outcomes within the broader adult demographic, leveraging data obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods: 3-diethyl-carbamoyl benzoic acid (DCBA) was used as a specific indicator of DEET exposure.

The association between arthritis and cognitive function impairment in the older adults: Based on the NHANES 2011-2014.

Objective: Arthritis has been postulated as a prevalent potential risk factor for the emergence of dementia and cognitive impairment. This conjecture prompted an examination of the correlation between arthritis and cognitive impairment using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) repository. The analysis was meticulously adjusted for potential confounders such as age and assorted systemic comorbidities, to ensure robustness in the results obtained.
