The role of age and sex in non-linear dilution adjustment of spot urine arsenic
The V-PFCRC method offers a robust correction for urinary arsenic dilution, significantly reducing systemic dilution adjustment errors. Its application in various demographic contexts enhances the accuracy of urinary biomarker assessments, benefiting clinical and epidemiological research. V-PFCRC effectively compensates for sex differences in urinary arsenic. Age-related increases in TWuAs are exposure-related and should be additionally accounted for by algebraic normalization, covariate models, or standard range adjustments.
