TL;DR: A nested case–control study in the prospective Dongfeng-Tongji cohort suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium.

TL;DR: T titanium and selenium were positively while antimony was negatively associated with incident diabetes, and no significant associations were found for other metals.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used Cox regression models to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality associated with metal concentrations and found that several plasma metals/metalloids were significantly associated with higher risks of all cause and CVD death in dose-response fashions.

TL;DR: It is suggested that serum CRP is positively associated with plasma concentration of copper, and inversely associated with selenium, and the genetic association with CRP was modified by copper concentration, which attenuated the positive association between high plasma copper and CRP.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to measure the baseline plasma metal concentrations and applied unconditional logistic regression models to estimate the relations between plasma metals and risk of incident dyslipidemia, and principal component analysis was performed to extract principal components of metals.
