OBJECTIVES: To investigate determinants of oxidative stress in an indigenous population, we examined associations of trace element exposures and dietary patterns with three oxidative stress-related biomarkers among indigenous populations in Northern Laos. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 341 adults from three villages with different levels of modernization. We used three oxidative stress-related biomarkers: urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-isoprostane concentrations, which were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and blood telomere lengths, which were measured using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction method. We used multilevel analysis to examine associations of urinary arsenic, cadmium, and selenium concentrations, their interaction terms, and wild-plant-food scores (principal component scores calculated from food consumption frequencies) with oxidative stress-related biomarkers. RESULTS: Urinary arsenic and cadmium concentrations were positively associated with urinary 8-isoprostane concentrations. Urinary selenium concentrations were positively associated with urinary 8-OHdG concentrations. Interaction terms ([arsenic or cadmium] × selenium) showed negative associations with urinary 8-OHdG and 8-isoprostane concentrations, respectively. Urinary cadmium concentrations were negatively associated with telomere lengths. Wild-plant-food scores did not exhibit associations with oxidative stress-related biomarkers. CONCLUSION: Our findings imply that exposure to arsenic and cadmium is associated with greater oxidative lipid damage, whereas selenium may attenuate arsenic-induced oxidative DNA damage and cadmium-induced oxidative lipid damage. Cadmium exposure may accelerate telomere attrition. Trace element exposure may be a determinant of oxidative stress among indigenous populations in Northern Laos.
