Dietary patterns provide a comprehensive assessment of food consumption, including essential nutrients and potential exposure to environmental contaminants. While pro-vegetarian (PVG) dietary have shown health benefits in adults, their effects on children are less well studied. This study aims explore the association between children's adherence most common PVG metals, assessed through urine concentration. In our study, we included population 723 aged 4-5-years from INfancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA) cohort Spain. We calculated three predefined patterns, namely general (gPVG), healthful (hPVG), unhealthful (uPVG), using information collected validated Food Frequency Questionnaire. Urinary concentrations various heavy metals (Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo, Pb, Cd) were measured mass spectrometry. Additionally, urinary arsenic speciation, arsenobetaine (AsB), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic (MMA), inorganic (iAs), was measured. The sum MMA iAs used assess exposure. estimated primary (PMI) secondary methylation (SMI) indices. To quintiles metal exposure, utilized multiple-adjusted linear regression models quantile g-computation approach. Compared with lowest quintile, participants highest quintile gPVG showed 22.7% lower Co (95% confidence interval (CI): -38.7; -1.98) 12.6% Se (95%CI: -22.9; -1.00) concentrations. Second hPVG associated 51.7% + -74.3; -8.61). an uPVG 13.6% levels -2.95) while third this pattern 17.5% Mo -29.5; -2.95). fourth 68.5% higher PMI 53.7% SMI. Our that childhood may modestly reduce intakes some such as Se. Further investigations warranted any implications.
