镉是一种重金属,经常在水系统和土壤中发现,因为它从工业过程中释放出来。从事生产和使用镍镉电池、磷肥、铜和镍冶炼以及废物焚烧和处置工作的人员存在职业性接触。此外,一般人群可通过吸烟、饮水和食用可积累镉的食物而接触到镉。这种金属的长半衰期意味着它可以在人体组织中积累,导致各种健康问题。膀胱过度活动(OAB)的机制和原因尚不清楚,但镉已知的神经毒性和促炎特性意味着它被认为是一个可能的因素。分析了2007-2020年国家健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)的数据,并使用加权多变量logistic回归评估了血镉水平与OAB及其成分之间的关系。该数据库中15467名应答者中OAB患病率为26.2%。血镉水平与总体OAB相关,但在调整其他变量后,这种关联很小且不显著,尽管OAB组的血镉水平在统计学上高于非OAB组。镉与夜尿症严重程度呈负相关(OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.74-0.98, P <;0.05),并且在50-59岁的成年人和非西班牙裔黑人患者中也与更严重的尿失禁有关。
