Abstract
⺠We examined the association between mercury and hypertension in US adults. ⺠Two main biomarkers of mercury exposure, methyl (blood) and inorganic (urine), were examined. ⺠Blood mercury was not associated with the risk of hypertension. ⺠There was a suggestive inverse or U-shaped association with urinary mercury. ⺠No significant effect modification by omega-3 fatty acids or selenium was found.
