Association between copper intake and essential hypertension: dual evidence from Mendelian randomization analysis and the NHANES database
This study demonstrates a significant association between copper intake and the development of essential hypertension. The findings suggest that higher copper intake is linked to an increased risk of hypertension, underscoring the need to monitor copper intake levels in the prevention and management of this condition.
