背景: 砷廣泛分佈於自然界,主要以水體在環境中遷移。暴露高濃度的砷,已被認定為人類致癌物。砷通常存在於深層地下水層,並在許多國家都有發現高濃度的地下水含砷量,其中包括阿根廷,孟加拉國,印度,巴基斯坦,墨西哥,德國,泰國,中國,智利,美國,加拿大,匈牙利,羅馬尼亞,越南,尼泊爾,緬甸和柬埔寨。過去在台灣研究發現砷在飲用水中的濃度與糖尿病之間存在著關聯,但是目前在其他國家的研究則結果不一;柬埔寨並未有相關方面的文獻探討,尤其是柬埔寨是一個非西方飲食習慣的國家,傳統糖尿病危險因子的盛行率應該較低,對研究結果的影響較少。因此,本研究的目的在於評估柬埔寨居民透過飲用水的砷暴露與高血糖症之間的相關性,並對過去的相關文獻進行統合分析以驗證結果。
方法: 我們針對柬埔寨Kandal, Preak Russy居民收集井水以及尿液樣本來評估個人砷暴露量,並採用問卷調查獲取基本人口學、飲食習慣以及過去病史等資料,另以手指血糖測試儀器測試空腹指尖血糖濃度篩檢高血糖症的病人,之後進行糖化血色素的檢測以確診。砷暴露的指標包含井水總砷濃度、尿液中總砷濃度以及砷中毒皮膚徵兆。我們以邏輯斯回歸評估飲用水砷暴露與高血糖症的相關性,並且考量潛在的干擾因子例如性別、年齡進行校正。此外,我們以MIX 2.0對過去針對砷暴露與糖尿病之間相關性的流行病學研究資料進行統合分析來驗證本研究的發現。
結果:參加調查的142 位受試者包括43 位男性以及99 女性,平均年齡為40.4(±18.8)歲,尿液中以及井水中的總砷濃度中位數分別為52.03 微克/升和907.25 微克/升。尿液中總砷對高血糖之間的勝算比為0.86(95%CI:0.29-2.51),暴露到高於井水總砷濃度中位數(907.25μg/L)的受試者得到高血糖症的機會為暴露濃度較低的受試者的1.91 倍(95%CI:0.57-6.31)。校正年齡與BMI 後,砷中毒皮膚徵兆與高血糖症之間的暴露勝算比為1.19(95%CI:0.33-4.31)。利用統合分析將過流行病學研究與本篇研究做比較得到一個統合值RR=1.64 (95%CI 1.34-2.12),發現在砷暴露以及高血糖症之間有相關性。
結論: 綜合統合分析與柬埔寨實地調查結果,本研究發現飲水砷暴露與高血糖症有關;然而由於參與實地調查的個案數太少,導致研究結果未達統計顯著意義。
Background: Arsenic is widely distributed in the nature and mainly transported in the environment by water. Arsenic exposure at high levels has been characterized as a human carcinogen. Arsenic usually exists in groundwater, and high concentrations have been observed in many countries, including Argentina, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Mexico, Germany, Thailand, China, Chile, the USA, Canada, Hungary, Romania, Vietnam, Nepal, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Studies in Taiwan found associations between arsenic exposure from drinking water and diabetes mellitus (DM), but studies in other countries yielded inconsistent results. Because Cambodians have non-Western style diets, data on the association are less affected by traditional risk factors for DM, but such data are limited. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the association between arsenic exposure and DM through a field study in Preak Russey Village of Kandal in Cambodia and a meta-analysis of related literature.
Methods: We collected well water and urine samples to assess arsenic exposure and used questionnaires interview to obtain data including those on demographics, diet, historical exposure, and disease. We performed a fingertip blood glucose test and then measured hemoglobin A1c when test was positive for hyperglycemia to confirm the existence of DM. We also examined the participants for skin lesions of arsenicosis. Logistic regression was applied to evaluate the relationship between arsenic exposure and DM after adjusting for potential confounders such as demographic factors. MIX 2.0 was used to conduct meta-analyses on results from previous epidemiology studies to verify our findings.
Results: The 142 participants included 43 men and 99 women, with an average age of 40.4 (standard deviation 18.8) years. The median levels of total arsenic in the urine and well water were 52.03 μg/L and 907.25 μg/L. The odds ratio (OR) associated with a urine arsenic level above the median for DM was 0.86 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29-2.51). People exposed to well water arsenic levels greater than the median had an OR of 1.91 (95% CI: 0.57-6.31). The OR associated with arsenicosis for DM was 1.19 (95% CI: 0.33-4.31) after adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI). The meta-analyses yielded an association between arsenic exposure and DM with an ln RR 1.64 (95%CI 1.34-2.12).
Conclusion: We found an association between arsenic exposure and DM in the meta-analysis and our field study. However, the association in the field study did not reach statistical significance most likely because the small sample size.
