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 mentioned in this paper performed a nested case-control study within the ongoing Dongfeng-Tongji cohort and determined the concentrations of 24 plasma metals and assessed the associations of plasma multiple metal concentrations with incident stroke using conditional logistic regression and elastic net model.

TL;DR: Exposure to multiple metals contribute to the decline in kidney function among the middle-aged and elderly and may have synergetic effect on the kidney function, according to the findings.

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.
