Introduction

Environmental exposures are an important area of public-health research because chemical exposures may vary across populations and may be investigated in relation to measurable biological and health outcomes. Organophosphate metabolites measured in urine can serve as biomarkers of exposure to organophosphate compounds, while phenotypic measures of aging can provide quantitative indicators for studying biological aging in epidemiological populations. The reported study brings these concepts together by analyzing nationally collected U.S. health data across multiple NHANES cycles from 1999 through 2018. [1]
