Associations between cadmium exposure and neurocognitive test scores in a cross-sectional study of US adults.

Among the never smokers with no known occupational cadmium exposure we saw a similar pattern, however the association magnitude was much greater and highly significant among those with 1–5.24 μg Cd/g creatinine (1–5.24 μg Cd/g creatinine: β Cd = 0.0510, 95%CI: 0.0217, 0.0804, less than 1 μg Cd/g creatinine: β Cd = −0.0223, 95%CI: -0.0509, 0.0064).

Cadmium associations among never smokers with no known occupational exposure In analyses restricted to never smokers with no evidence of work-based cadmium exposure (Table 5 ) the results were roughly similar with two notable exceptions: 1) the multivariable adjusted effect estimate in the SDST analysis (attention/perception) was larger in magnitude and significant (β Cd = 0.0193, 95%CI: 0.0005, 0.0381), and 2) the multivariable adjusted effect estimate in the SDLT total-error-score analysis (learning recall/short-term memory) was larger in magnitude and borderline significant (OR Cd = 1.45, 95%CI: 0.99 - 2.14).
