Sex-specific associations of urinary mixed-metal concentrations with femoral bone mineral density among older people: an NHANES (2017-2020) analysis.

In the present study, a non-linear relationship, with an overall trend of negative correlation, between the Ba concentration and femoral BMD was found when the other urinary metals were fixed at median concentrations.

In women, mixed exposure to the 10 metals showed a trend toward reducing femoral BMD, but no correlations were statistically significant in this analysis.
