Association of urinary phthalate metabolites with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among adults with diabetes mellitus: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2014.

This study is an academic exploration of the association between urinary phthalate metabolites and mortality among adults with DM, suggesting that exposure to phthalates might be associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in DM. These findings suggest that patients with DM should carefully use plastics products.
