To investigate the relationship between the urinary concentrations of PAH metabolites and adult obesity among the US population, the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003\u20132016) was used as a data source for this study. As many as 4464 participants in the NHANES 2003\u20132016 were included in the final analyses. We used logistic regression to look at the link between urinary PAH metabolites and obesity, using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The study sample comprised 4464 individuals aged \u226518\u2009years, 2199 were male and 2265 were female. The study characteristics for four different quartiles were analyzed, and the average ages of the four urinary PAH quartiles were 49.61\u2009\u00b1\u200920.01, 46.63\u2009\u00b1\u200920.33, 44.28\u2009\u00b1\u200919.19, and 43.27\u2009\u00b1\u200917.68\u2009years, respectively. In the quartile analysis of all participants, the third quartile was significantly associated with an increased prevalence of obesity (OR\u2009=\u20091.33, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.12\u20131.59) with <jats:italic>p\u2010<\/jats:italic>values &lt;.05. In addition, females, but not males, had a strong link between the second, third, and fourth quartiles of urinary PAH and a higher risk of obesity (OR\u2009=\u20091.27, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.00\u20131.61; OR\u2009=\u20091.52, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.19\u20131.94; and OR\u2009=\u20091.39, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.09\u20131.78). In conclusion, the study observed that urinary PAH metabolites were associated with the prevalence of obesity among the US
