The aim of this study was to investigate the association between blood lead level (BLL) and
hypertension in adults when lead exposure for the general population is low. The study used …

This study investigated whether low blood-lead levels (≤ 10μg/dL) were associated with
blood pressure (BP) outcomes. The authors analyzed data from National Health and …

In view of the declining environmental lead exposure in the United States, we analyzed the
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003–2010) for association of blood …

Background Environmental lead exposure among adults may increase blood pressure and
elevate the risk of hypertension. The availability of data on blood lead levels (BLL) in adult …

Lead is a heavy metal without a biological role. High level of lead exposure is known to be
associated with hypertension, but the risk at low levels of exposure is uncertain. In this study …

Background Lead is a toxic metal for human health, but the effect on blood pressure (BP) is
still controversial. The object of this study was to demonstrate the association between blood …

The link between lead and blood pressure was debatable, and whether it was mediated by
renal function was unknown. The purpose was to investigate the relationship between blood …

Background Environmental lead exposure is a possible causative factor for increased blood
pressure and hypertension, but large studies at low-level exposure are scarce, and results …

Background Scientists and regulators have sought to understand whether and how
physiologic dysregulation due to chronic stress exposure may enhance vulnerability to the …

Chronic lead exposure has been associated with elevated blood pressure in
epidemiological studies. It is not known whether the previously observed relation between …
