Background: Existing epidemiological studies investigated the association between a single vitamin and hypertension. However, the potential relationship between the level of circulating multivitamins and blood pressure has not been explored. We aimed to investigate the association between multiple fat-soluble vitamin levels and blood pressure.
Methods: A total of 2052 participants with essential hypertension were sampled nationwide. The plasma concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, D, and K) were assessed using liquid chromatography coupled with the mass spectrometry method. Participants were categorized into different co-exposure patterns using the unsupervised K-means clustering method. The multiple linear regression model was used for subsequent analyses.
Results: Participants were classified into two co-exposure patterns of fat-soluble vitamins. The levels of vitamins were relatively low in pattern 1, compared to pattern 2. Participants in pattern 2 had no significantly different blood pressure levels compared to pattern 1. However, the plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (VD) levels were negatively associated with SBP (logarithmic 10 transformed) ( = -0.002, 95% CI: -0.004, 0); participants in the fourth -tocopherol quartile had mean SBP levels that were 1.02% (95% CI: 0.43, 1.61%) greater than those in the lowest quartile ( for trend <0.01). In addition, no significant relationships were found between plasma VA/VK concentrations and blood pressure.
Discussion: Although no significant association between fat-soluble vitamin co-exposure patterns and blood pressure was found, further analyses could imply that plasma -tocopherol levels may offset the potential protective effect of plasma VD on blood pressure among hypertensive adults. This provided a novel perspective for exploring the joint effects of fat-soluble vitamins on blood pressure. Further studies are warranted to better understand the implications.

Meat is a staple in many cultural diets, and the consumption of processed meats has increased significantly worldwide. The widespread use of sodium nitrate (NaNO) as a preservative and the unintentional leaching of bisphenol A (BPA) from packaging into meats have raised health concerns. This study evaluates the combined toxicity of BPA and NaNO despite their individual safety assessments.

There remains a substantial knowledge gap in understanding the coexistence effects of Microplastics (MPs), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As), which are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. Here, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were used to investigate the impact of triple combined exposure to MPs (50 μg/L), Pb (10 μg/L) and As (200 μg/L) on the developmental responses. Survival and hatching rates were notably reduced to 32.

Background: Ambient carbon monoxide (CO) exposure has been identified as an emerging environmental risk factor contributing to the progression of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). However, the epidemiological evidence remains inconsistent. This study aims to investigate the short-term association between low-level CO exposure and PTB outpatient visits in a developing region.

This study explores the effects of prenatal co-exposure to alcohol and synthetic cannabinoids on offspring viability, physical development, and neurobehavioral outcomes in young adulthood. The aim is to identify distinct outcomes of co-exposure compared to single-drug exposures and to examine potential sex-specific vulnerabilities in motor coordination and exploratory behaviors. Pregnant C57Bl/6J mice were assigned to one of four treatment groups: Control, Alcohol-exposed, Cannabinoid-exposed, or Alcohol+Cannabinoid-exposed, with drug administration occurring between Gestational Days 12-15.

Background: The joint association of dietary diversity (DD) and physical activity (PA) on anxiety, depressive symptoms, and their comorbidity have not been extensively explored. Hence, this study focused on examining this association.
Methods: Data in this cross-sectional study was derived from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS).
