Reporting from the USA: Urinary Metal Levels Linked to Increased Risk for CVD, Mortality
Urinary metal levels are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, according to a study published online Aug. 1 in Circulation.
Irene Martinez-Morata, M.D., Ph.D., from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health in New York City, and colleagues examined the prospective association of urinary metals with incident CVD and all-cause mortality in the racially diverse Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Data were included for 6,599 participants with urinary metals available at baseline (2000 to 2001) who were followed through December 2019.
