Abstract: Bisphenol A-induced weight gain using four body measurements (body mass index, waist circumference, waist to height ratio & adult body fat percentage), in adults 18-74 years has been connected with obesity and diabetes. So a cross-sectional analysis of urinary bisphenol A concentrations by four body measurements, using six pooled datasets from the 2003-2014 biennial National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys. After adjustment by survey year, age, race, gender, diabetic status, education level, and smoking status, obesity was positively associated odds ratios of having bisphenol A exposure in each of the four body measurements.
