Traces of non-essential and essential metals in urine were associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, according to the largest epidemiological study on ...

They examined non-essential (cadmium, tungsten, uranium) and essential (cobalt, copper, zinc) metals, both common in U.S. populations and associated with CVD. Widespread cadmium, tungsten ...

Likewise, few studies have assessed the impact of essential metals, such as cobalt, copper, and zinc, as well as non-essential metals, like uranium and tungsten, on the risk of CVD. The current ...

They examined non-essential (cadmium, tungsten, uranium) and essential (cobalt, copper, zinc) metals, both common in U.S. populations and associated with CVD. Widespread cadmium, tungsten ...

Healthy Participants at Baseline The study included 6,418 MESA participants without CVD who had six metals measured in their urine (nonessential: cadmium, tungsten, and uranium; essential: cobalt, ...

After accounting for established risk factors of CVD like smoking, hypertension or diabetes, the study identified that higher levels of the mixture of cadmium, tungsten, uranium, cobalt ...
