Examining the Link Between Trace Elements and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Young Adults

Completed

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Diseases, Metabolic Syndrome X, Hypertension, Inflammation, Atherosclerosis

In brief

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects millions of people in the United States; each year, more people die from CVD than from any other disease. There are many dietary and lifestyle factors that may increase the risk of developing CVD. Preliminary research has shown that the presence of certain trace elements may be associated with the development of CVD. This study will examine toenail clippings and laboratory data to evaluate the link between trace elements and CVD risk factors in young adults.
