Trace elements and risk of diabetes-related vascular complications: results from the EPIC-Potsdam cohort study
Our findings indicate that higher serum levels of iodine measured prior to the diagnosis of diabetes are associated with higher risk of subsequent microvascular complications in diabetes, while copper-to-zinc ratio is associated with microvascular complications in a sex-specific manner.
