Association between Heavy metals and triglyceride-glucose-related index: a mediation analysis of inflammation indicators
The study establishes a clear association between heavy metal and adverse changes in TyG markers, influenced in part by inflammation. These insights highlight the urgent need for improved monitoring of environmental health and specific strategies to decrease heavy metal exposure, thus lessening their harmful impact on cardiovascular health. The research enhances understanding of the dynamic interactions between environmental exposures and metabolic health, laying groundwork for public health initiatives aimed at curtailing chronic disease risks linked to heavy metals.
