This study was performed to explore the association between urinary cadmium and kidney stone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011\u20132020) were included and further analyzed. Urinary cadmium was stratified into quartiles with quartile 1 (Q1: 0.025\u20130.104 \u03bcg\/L) and quartile 4 (Q4: 0.435\u20137.581 \u03bcg\/L). Further weighted logistic regression was adopted to evaluate the association between urinary cadmium and kidney stone. A subgroup analysis was used to verify the findings. The non-linear association was examined using the restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 9,056 adults aged 20 years and above were included in this study. In the fully adjusted model, an increased risk of kidney stones was identified for quartile 2 (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.06\u20131.84, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05), quartile 3 (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 0.88\u20131.59, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05), and quartile 4 (OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.10\u20132.06, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). A similar association was found between continuous cadmium increase and OR of kidney stones in the fully adjusted model (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.01\u20131.26, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). The RCS also indicated a non-linear association between urinary cadmium concentration and kidney stone risk (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> for non-linear &amp;lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In summary, cadmium exposure is identified as a risk factor for kidney stones in this study. Their non-linear association makes demands on early intervention for the cadmium-exposed population. Medical interventions for kidney stone prevention should take cadmium exposure into account.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2023.1146263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,15]],"date-time":"2023-03-15T05:15:45Z","timestamp":1678857345000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["National
