Exposure to environmental metals has been associated with health outcomes including respiratory health. Little is known about the impact of exposure to environmental metals on lung function among young children in general population. This study aimed to investigate the associations of exposure to metals with lung function among young children in a population-based cohort. A total of 1488 children aged 5–8 years attended a follow-up visit as part of the Longitudinal Investigation of Global Health in Taiwanese Schoolchildren (LIGHTS) cohort. We measured urinary samples of vanadium (median: 1.21 ng/mL; interquartile range (IQR): 0.73–1.98), manganese (median: 0.23 ng/mL; IQR: 0.13–0.47), arsenic (median: 40.51 ng/mL; IQR: 21.66–70.49), nickel (median: 1.09 ng/mL; IQR: 0.31–3.60), and cadmium (median: 0.26 ng/mL; IQR: 0.11–0.43) and performed lung function tests. Urinary vanadium concentrations were inversely associated with FVC (β coefficient for the highest quartile versus the other quartiles: −33.40, p = 0.001), FEV1 (β: −41.31, p |
