Phenols and parabens are two major classes of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) that may be related to multiple human diseases. However, there has been no studies examining the association between phenols as well as parabens and osteoarthritis (OA). We assessed the link between urinary concentrations of triclosan (TCS), benzophenone-3 (BP-3), bisphenol A (BPA), and parabens with OA based on the data collected from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in multivariable logistic regression models. Among all the 7114 participants included, the weighted percentage of OA was 12.11% (n = 807). Compared with participants at tertile 1, those at tertile 2 of urinary BP-3, and tertile 3 of urinary BP-3 were more likely to show increased OA prevalence in a fully adjusted model, with odd ratio (OR) as 1.34 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.78], 1.55 (95 CI%: 1.17-2.06), and 1.66 (95 CI%: 1.23-2.24), respectively. In subgroup analyses stratified by potential confounders, various subgroups remained to show statistically significant positive association between urinary BP-3 and OA prevalence. Otherwise, we observed no statistically significant associations between urinary TCS, BPA or parabens with OA. In conclusion, this serves as the first study in which we found that the urinary concentration of BP-3 was positively correlated to prevalence of OA among the US population.
