Abstract | BACKGROUND: The relative contribution of environmental contaminants is an important, and frequently unanswered, question in human or ecological risk assessments. This interpretation of relative importance allows determination of the overall effect of a set of variables relative to other variables on an adverse health outcome. There are no underlying assumptions of independence of variables. The tool developed and used here is specifically designed for studying the effects of mixtures of chemicals on a particular function of the human body. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: We note significant alterations to bone mineral density among more highly exposed adults and significant differences in effects between men and women.
