Abstract

Background

The association between blood lead (PbB) and uric acid (SUA) remains unclear in US adults without a high level of lead exposure. Additionally, the effects of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) modifying this association are still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effect of modification of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol on the association between PbB and SUA.

Method

This research analyzed National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2005 to 2016. Through several screenings, 18,578 participants over the age of 20 were eligible for the analysis. Multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate the association between PbB and SUA. By having stratified participants based on the HDL-C intake category (low HDL-C intake < 50 mg/dl; high HDL-C intake ≥ 50 mg/dl), effect modification by HDL-C was assessed through a likelihood ratio test between PbB and SUA.

Result

Multivariable linear regression indicated that PbB positively affects SUA (β = 0.19, 95% CI 0.16–0.22). The relationship between PbB and SUA was different in the low and high HDL-C intake group (β 0.12 95% Cl 0.08–0.16 vs. β 0.26 95% Cl 0.22 ~ − 0.30). Furthermore, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol significantly modified the relationship between PbB and SUA in all models which indicates that the interaction of lead exposure and HDL-C is more dangerous than the sum of the individual effects.

Conclusions

Our study shows that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood lead have an interactive effect on increasing uric acid, which may have great importance for clinical medication.
