Correlation Between Blood Cadmium Levels and Platelet Characteristics, As Well As Their Impact on Susceptibility to Coronary Heart Disease: Findings from NHANES 2005-2018 Data.
Cardiovascular Toxicology 2024 March 7
Investigating the correlation between blood cadmium levels, platelet characteristics, and susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD). Utilized NHANES 2005-2018 data with covariates such as age, sex, race, marital status, and socio-economic status. Blood cadmium served as the independent variable, while platelet count (PC) and mean platelet volume (MPV) were dependent variables. The average age of the participants was 68.77 ± 11.03 years, and 67.4% of them were male. The mean values for WBC, MPV, PC, and blood cadmium were 7.53 ± 3.36 × 103 cells/µL, 11.33 ± 0.27fL, 57.61 ± 5.34 × 103 cells/µL, and 2.58 ± 0.61 µg/L, respectively. Adjusting for other variables revealed increased MPV and PC with rising blood cadmium levels in cardiac patients, indicating a higher risk of CHD in those with elevated blood cadmium.

Adjusting for other variables revealed increased MPV and PC with rising blood cadmium levels in cardiac patients, indicating a higher risk of CHD in those with elevated blood cadmium. This study enhances understanding of how cadmium impacts platelet characteristics, contributing to increased CHD risk, providing insights for primary prevention strategies.
