Lead, Cadmium, Smoking, and Increased Risk of Peripheral Arterial Disease

Abstract

Blood lead and cadmium, at levels well below current safety standards, were associated with an increased prevalence of peripheral arterial disease in the general US population. Cadmium may partially mediate the effect of smoking on peripheral arterial disease.
