Study of the risk of death by heart disease that collect common domestic products

The chemicals found in plastics have been related to a multitude of health risks, and the mortality of heart disease has now been added to the list.

In an analysis of population polls, Nyu Langone Health researchers discovered that daily exposure to chemicals in common household items could have been a factor in more than 356,000 deaths from heart disease only in 2018.

This number is equivalent to more than 13% of the deaths related to heart disease worldwide for people between 55 and 64 years old.

The study, published in Lancet Ebiomedicine on April 29, explored the risks of chemicals called ftalats, which are in cosmetics, detergents, solvents, plastic pipes, mistakes of errors and other products, according to a NYU press release.

In this research, the focus was a specific type of FTalat called di-2-ethyxil ftalat (DEHP), which is used to make more soft and flexible plastics such as food containers and medical equipment, said the launch.

Dehp has been related to inflammation in the arteries of the heart, making people more susceptible to the heart attack or to stroke.

To determine exposure levels to DEHP, researchers analyzed dozens of population surveys covering 200 countries and territories.

Mortality data was obtained from the Institute of Metricians and Health Evaluation, a U.S. research group that collects medical information worldwide to identify public health trends.

“Our results emphasize the urgent need for global regulations to reduce exposure to these toxins.”

“By highlighting the connection between ftaalats and the main cause of death worldwide, our findings add to the large number of tests that these chemicals have a huge danger to human health,” said study author Sara Hyman, BS, an associate researcher at Nyu Grossman School of Medicine, in the statement.

The regions with the older deaths of heart disease related to ftalats include the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia and the Pacific.

“Our results emphasize the urgent need for world regulations to reduce exposure to these toxins, especially in areas more affected by fast industrialization and plastic consumption,” said Dr. Trasande, Dr. Trasande, Jim G. Hendrick, MD, Pediatrics Professor of the Nyu Grossman School of Medicine, in the statement.

Inflammation is a well -known cause of coronary artery disease, according to Dr. Jasdeep Dalawari, an interventional cardiologist and a regional medical director of Vitalution, a naive health company.

The study suggests that blood pressure and risk of dementia suggests a surprising link

“Our bodies release chemicals and hormones that give directions to the artery to open, close or change the diameter,” said Dalawari, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.

“This study suggests that microplastics can interfere with these internal signals, so the artery does not work as it should.”

“Microplastics are widely present in various products we use every day, and it is crucial to understand their long -term effects on human health,” he added.

Renato Apolito, MD, medical director of cardiac catheterism at the Meridiana Meridian Meridian Jersey Medical University Medical Center, agreed that artificial plastic products have been known and they are suspected of health risks.

“They often use highly designed chemicals where the goal is not quality and safety, but instead, profitability and comfort,” said Apolito, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.

The doctor shared that he stopped using non -stick pans for a long time and mainly uses glass storage and avoids eating and drinking from plastic containers.

Limitations and future research

Apolito, however, noted that the “longitudinal and observational” nature of the study comes with limitations.

“It is generally used to see if there is any correlation between exposure and health risk, which is used to study the topic more in control,” said Apolito, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.

“You cannot control the unidentified variations of lifestyles among people followed.”

The senior author Trasande also pointed out the potential limitations.

The analysis does not establish that the DEHP caused heart disease and that the highest risks of death did not take into account other types of ftalats, he stated.

The study also did not include death rates in other age groups, said the doctor, which means that the general number of death is “probably much larger.”

In front, researchers are planning to investigate how to reduce exposure to the FTALAT affect mortality rates.

They will also measure the potential role of the chemical in other health problems.

“These studies are usually used to study the next step to elucidate the cause and effect,” Apolito said. “This can lead to the FDA and other policymakers who prohibit or prohibit the use of these products.”

“Microplastics are widely present in various products we use every day, and it is crucial to understand their long -term effects on human health.”

The study was funded by national health institutes.

Dalawari suggested that researchers may want to look at other factors that contribute, including air pollution, which has proven to be a “new non -traditional risk factor” for coronary heart disease.

“The intersection of pollution, regulation and genetic predisposition provides a complex landscape, and an additional investigation is needed to unveil these connections, paving the way for more informed public health policies and preventive measures,” he added.
