Background: Despite studies on trace metals and Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRDs), their causal relationship in American adults is uncertain. Our research applied observational and bidirectional Mendelian Randomization (MR) methods to ascertain this association.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential linkages between serum levels of Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Selenium (Se) and the incidence of chronic respiratory diseases within the adult demographic of the United States.
Methods: Drawing on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016 data, our study incorporated 2807 adults to examine serum Cu, Zn and Se impacts on CRDs risks using logistic regression and cubic spline analysis. Subsequently, bidirectional MR assessments were conducted to ascertain the causative.. View More»
