1 Environmental lead exposure and increased risk for total and allergen-specific IgE in US adults 
Kyoung-Bok Min, MD, PhD, Jin-Young Min, PhD  Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  Volume 135, Issue 1, Pages e3 (January 2015) DOI: /j.jaci Copyright © 2014 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Adjusted association (spline function) plots of total IgE levels with blood lead levels. Bars indicate the frequency distribution of blood lead in the study participants. The spline function (solid line) is adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, family income, cigarette smoking, a history of allergy, and BMI. Dotted lines indicate the 95% CI.

3 Fig E1 Adjusted ORs (95% CIs) for associations for IgE levels among 19 specific aeroallergens and blood lead quartiles. Diamonds represent the ORs for allergic sensitization in quartiles 2 (white diamonds), 3 (gray diamonds), and 4 (black diamonds), respectively, compared with the reference levels of blood lead in quartile 1. All ORs are adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, household income, cigarette smoking, a history of allergy, and BMI. Error bars represent 95% CIs.
