Key takeaways: A model estimated 356,238 CV deaths among adults aged 55 to 64 years in 2018 were due to di-2-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) exposure.

Exposure to one class of phthalate is linked to more than 356,000 cardiovascular deaths in adults aged 55 to 64 years worldwide in 2018, according to findings of a new disease burden model published in eBioMedicine.
