Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are emerging environmental pollutants that can be detected in water, dust, and biological organisms. Certain OPFRs can disrupt lipid metabolism in animal models and cell lines. However, the effects of OPFRs on human lipid metabolism remain unclear. We included 1,580 participants (≥20 years) from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to explore the relationship between OPFR exposure and lipid metabolism biomarkers. After adjusting for confounding factors, results showed that one-unit increases in the log levels of diphenyl phosphate (DPhP) (regression coefficient = -5.755; S.E. = 2.289; p = 0.023) and log bis-(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCPP) (regression coefficient = -4.637; S.E. = 2.019; p = 0.036) were negatively associated with the levels of total cholesterol (TC) in all participants. One-unit increases in the levels of DPhP (regression coefficient = -2.292; S.E. = 0.802; p = 0.012), log bis (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BDCPP) (regression coefficient = -2.046; S.E. = 0.825; p = 0.026), and log bis-2-chloroethyl phosphate (BCEP) (regression coefficient = -2.604; S.E. = 0.704; p = 0.002) were negatively associated with the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). With increasing quartiles of urine BDCPP levels, the mean TC levels significantly decreased in all participants (p value for trend = 0.028), and quartile increases in the levels of DPhP (p value for trend = 0.01), BDCPP (p value for trend = 0.001), and BCEP (p value for trend<0.001) were negatively corelated with HDL-C, with approximately 5.9, 9.9, and 12.5% differences between the upper and lower quartiles. In conclusion, DPhP, BDCPP, and BCEP were negatively related to HDL-C concentration, whereas DPhP and BCPP levels were negatively associated with TC level. Thus, exposure to OPFRs may interfere with lipid metabolism.
