亚洲人、太平洋岛民和美洲原住民是通过食用鱼类从饮食中暴露于甲基汞的潜在高风险群体。然而，1999-2002年国家健康和营养检查调查（NHANES）的最新报告中尚未确定这一群体的血汞水平。我们使用1999-2002年的NHANES数据来获得育龄妇女血液汞水平的人口估计值，这些育龄妇女被归类为“其他”种族/民族群体（亚洲人、太平洋岛民、美洲原住民和多种族; n = 140）。将这一组的血汞水平与所有其他女性参与者的血汞水平进行比较，这些女性参与者分为墨西哥裔美国人、非西班牙裔黑人、非西班牙裔白色人和“其他”西班牙裔。估计有16.59 ± 4.0%（平均值± SE）的自认为是亚洲人、太平洋岛民、美洲原住民或多种族的成年女性参与者（n = 140）的血汞水平≥5.8 μg/L，27.26 ± 4.22%的血汞水平≥3.5 μg/L。在其余的调查参与者（n = 3，497）中，5.08 ± 0.90%的人血汞水平≥5.8 μg/L，10.86 ± 1.45%的人血汞水平≥3.5 μg/L。在NHANES中，自认为是亚洲人、太平洋岛民、美洲原住民或多种族的研究对象的血汞升高患病率高于调查中所有其他种族/民族的参与者。未来的研究应解决该群体汞含量高的原因，并探索可能的干预措施，以降低该人群甲基汞暴露的风险。
Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans are a potentially high-risk group for dietary exposure to methylmercury through fish consumption. However, blood mercury levels in this group have not been identified in recent reports of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for the years 1999–2002. We used NHANES data from 1999–2002 to obtain population estimates of blood mercury levels among women of childbearing age classified as belonging to the “other” racial/ethnic group (Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, and multiracial; n = 140). Blood mercury levels in this group were compared with those among all other women participants, classified as Mexican American, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, and “other” Hispanic. An estimated 16.59 ± 4.0% (mean ± SE) of adult female participants who self-identified as Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, or multiracial (n = 140) had blood mercury levels ≥5.8 μg/L, and 27.26 ± 4.22% had levels ≥3.5 μg/L. Among remaining survey participants (n = 3,497), 5.08 ± 0.90% had blood mercury levels ≥5.8 μg/L, and 10.86 ± 1.45% had levels ≥3.5 μg/L. Study subjects in NHANES who self-identified as Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, or multiracial had a higher prevalence of elevated blood mercury than all other racial/ethnic participants in the survey. Future studies should address reasons for the high mercury levels in this group and explore possible interventions for lowering risk of methylmercury exposure in this population.
