Epidemiological studies have investigated the associations of bisphenol A (BPA) exposure with hypertension risk or blood pressure levels, but findings are inconsistent. Furthermore, the association between its alternatives bisphenol S and F (BPS and BPF) and hypertension risk are not yet known. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 1437 eligible participants without hypertension-related diseases, with complete data about blood pressure levels, hypertension diagnosis, and urinary bisphenols concentrations. Multivariable logistic and linear models were respectively applied to examine the associations of urinary bisphenols concentrations with hypertension risk and blood pressure levels. The dose-response relationship was explored by the restricted cubic spline model. Compared with the reference group of BPA, individuals in the middle and high exposure group had an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.30 and 1.40 for hypertension, had a 3.08 and 2.82 mm Hg higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels, respectively, with an inverted “U” shaped dose-response relationship. Compared with the reference group of BPS, individuals in the second and third tertile had an adjusted OR of 1.49 and 1.48 for hypertension, had a 2.61 and 3.89 mm Hg increased levels of SBP, respectively, with a monotonic curve. No significant associations of BPF exposure with hypertension risk or blood pressure levels were found. BPA and BPS exposure were suggested to be associated with increased hypertension risk and blood pressure levels, with different dose-response relationships. Our findings have important implications for public health but require confirmation in prospective studies.
