Associations of plasma metal concentrations with the risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in Chinese adults
CONCLUSIONS: The study indicated that several plasma metals/metalloids were key determinants and predictors of all-cause and CVD death in the Chinese population. Our findings highlighted the importance to comprehensively assess and monitor multiple metals/metalloids exposures.PMID:34365319 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2021.106808

Associations of multiple plasma metals with the risk of ischemic stroke: A case-control study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggested that higher plasma concentrations of aluminum, arsenic, and cadmium, and lower concentrations of iron and selenium may increase the risk of IS. Further prospective studies in larger populations are warranted to confirm our findings. PMID: 30716572 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Serum mercury concentration and the risk of ischemic stroke: The REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Trace Element Study.
CONCLUSION: This study does not support an association between mercury and the incidence of ischemic stroke within a population with low-to-moderate level of exposure. Further studies are needed to explore the possibility of mercury-induced ischemic stroke toxicity in other populations at higher exposure levels. PMID: 29738916 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
