Association Between Metal Mixtures and C-Reactive Protein Levels: A Study Based on Occupational Populations in China.

The association between mixed exposure to multiple metals and the risk of abnormally elevated blood glucose among aluminum factory workers

Potential joint association between urinary metal mixtures and adult asthma: A matched case-control study in China.

The findings suggest an association between urinary multi-metal mixtures and adult asthma but do not establish causality and suggest potential nonlinear and pairwise patterns involving multiple metals, particularly U, Ti and vanadium (V), but these findings were exploratory and do not establish synergistic toxicity.

Selenium predominance in heavy metal mixtures is associated with hyperuricemia in Chinese adults: the role of insulin resistance

Insulin resistance might be a crucial mediated pathway between Se and outcomes and three multi-pollutant models revealed positive associations between metal mixtures and SUA as well as HUA, with Se being the primary contributor.

Associations between metals and anemia indicator: mixed exposure effects and mediation analysis.

It was found that zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and thallium (Tl) were associated with increased hemoglobin levels in children, and copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), and lead (Pb) were associated with decreased hemoglobin levels.

Association Between Zinc-to-Copper Ratio and Hypertension in Populations with Differential Environmental Heavy Metal Exposure.

Higher ZCR is consistently associated with hypertension across analytical approaches and subgroups, with a suggestive but not statistically significant pattern of effect modification by environmental metal exposure, support ZCR as a potentially informative indicator of essential metal imbalance relevant to blood pressu...

Associations of heavy metals and essential trace elements exposures with rheumatoid arthritis: The potential mediating role of telomere length.

Excessive heavy metals and insufficient trace essential elements increase the risk of RA, and the potential mediating role of telomere length (TL) is emphasized in this process.
