Multiple metals exposure and estimated pulse wave velocity: a cross-sectional analysis of the US adults
The present study indicated a significant association between the presence of a mixture of metals and elevated ePWV, with Cd and Pb identified as the primary risk factors. And HDL and TC might participate in mediating mixed metals exposure induced ePWV changes.
