Abstract
The relationship of blood ethylene oxide levels with hypertension and blood pressure has not been addressed. A total of 5005 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2016 were enrolled. Hypertension was defined as a mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) of at least 140 mmHg, a mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of at least 90 mmHg, or both, and/or the self-reported use of prescription drugs for diagnosed hypertension. Generalized linear regression models and restricted cubic spline plots were performed to explore the associations of ethylene oxide levels with hypertension and blood pressure. The prevalence of hypertension in the study sample was 27.6%. After adjusting for cofounding factors, compared with the lowest quantile, the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of hypertension across the quantiles of ethylene oxide levels were 0.80 (0.63, 1.03), 0.91 (0.71, 1.16), and 1.39 (1.06, 1.82), respectively (P for trend 0.001). Compared with the lowest quantile, the highest quantile of blood ethylene oxide levels was significantly associated with the worst DBP profile by approximately 2.67 mmHg. Blood ethylene oxide levels showed a strong nonlinear and positive association with DBP, while no significant association was observed between blood ethylene oxide levels and SBP. These results provide epidemiological evidence of elevated blood levels of ethylene oxide in relation to a higher prevalence of hypertension and higher DBP. Further study is warranted to address these issues.
