#0028 Does low lead exposure affect blood pressure and hypertension?

The Link between Low Lead Levels and Blood Pressure in Lead-Exposed WorkersHypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition affecting about a billion people worldwide, and more than 11 million adults in the Republic of Korea. Lifestyle habits like smoking, drinking, poor diet, stress, and exposure to heavy metals like lead are linked with hypertension. As per the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), blood lead levels (BLLs) of 10 micrograms per deciliter of blood or lower are an acceptable limit for children. However, it is unknown whether this limit is acceptable for adults and whether BLLs indeed are causative factors of hypertension.We investigated whether BLLs lower than the cut-off are linked to hypertension in Korean adult men exposed to lead at work. In the Republic of Korea, workers exposed to lead are required to undergo an annual specialized medical check-up (ASMC). We retrospectively analyzed the ASMC data of 7,341 male workers collected between 2000 and 2004.
