Background: Seafood is the main source of organic arsenic exposure (arsenobetaine, arsenosugars and arsenolipids) in the population. Arsenosugars and arsenolipids are metabolized to several species including dimethylarsinate (DMA).Objective: Evaluate the association of seafood intake with spot urine arsenic concentrations in the 2003-2006 National Health Nutrition and Examination Survey (NHANES).Methods: We studied 4276 participants >= 6 years. Total arsenic was measured using inductively coupled plasma dynamic reaction cell mass spectrometry (ICPMS). Urine DMA and arsenobetaine were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ICPMS.Results: Participants reporting seafood in the past 24-h had higher urine concentrations of total arsenic (median 24.5 vs. 7.3 mu g/L), DMA (6.0 vs. 3.5 mu g/L), arsenobetaine (10.2 vs. 0.9 mu g/L) and total arsenic minus arsenobetaine (11.0 vs. 5.5 mu g/L). Participants reporting seafood >= 2/wk vs. never during the past year had 2.3 (95% confidence interval 1.9, 2.7). 1.4 (1.2, 1.6), 6.0 (4.6, 7.8) and 1.7 (1.4, 2.0) times higher (p-trend
