The Association between Zinc and Copper Circulating Levels and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adults: A Study of Qatar Biobank Data by Kerkadi, Abdelhamid

“…Cu levels correlated positively with body mass index (BMI) (0.23; p < 0.001), pulse rate (PR) (0.18; p < 0.001), total cholesterol (0.13; p = 0.01), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) (0.27; p < 0.001); and negatively with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (−0.13; p = 0.01). High plasma Cu significantly decreased the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) (0.121; p < 0.001). …”
