Comparison of Blood Lead Levels in Children and Adolescents with and without Functional Abdominal Pain

This might be because of elevated lead levels in both groups. Future ecological studies with a large sample size are necessary in this regard.PMID:37694233 | PMC:PMC10492617 | DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_250_22
