Abstract
Objective To study the relationship between trace elements and blood lipids and glucose in Shanghai adults. Methods Totally 245 subjects aged above 18 years from two communities in Shanghai were en-rolled into this study. Blood trace elements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mg, Pb, Mn, and Cd) were examined with atom ab-serption spectrophotometry. Body mass index (BMI), waist hip rate (WHR), and blood pressure (SBP, DBP)were also determined. Results Compared with the normal control group, plasma Fe and Mn levels were signifi-cantly lower while Zn and Zn/Cu levels were significantly higher in hyperlipemia group (P 0. 05 ). Conclusions The metabolism of trace elements is abnormal in patients with hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus. Intervention of these trace elements disor-der may be valuable in the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Key words: Trace elements; Triglyceride; Total cholesterol; Fasting blood glucose
