Association of exposure to urinary and blood heavy metals with visual disability among U.S. adults in NHANES 2013–2018
Our findings suggested that Cd, Pb, Sn, and Tu were identified as independent risk factors for visual disability. Furthermore, exposure to mixed metals could increase the risk of visual disability, to which Cd and Pb were the greatest contributors.
