Hypertension is a very common and important disease of modern civilised life. There are comflicting reports about cadmium, a trace element in the genesis of essential hypertension. The present study was conducted to estimate the cadmium levels in whole blood in the normal group of thirty subjects who were normotensive and the same was compared to that of thirty hypertensive patients and the levels were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal contaminant found in soil and water due to human activities such as mining and industrial discharge. Cd can accumulate in the body, leading to various health risks such as organ injuries, osteoporosis, renal dysfunction, Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), reproductive diseases, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. The gut is particularly sensitive to Cd toxicity as it acts as the primary barrier against orally ingested Cd.

Background: A relatively well-established link was observed between metal mixtures exposure and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the relationship between metal mixtures exposure and serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) concentrations, a valuable non-invasive biomarker of neurodegenerative diseases, in general adult populations remains understudied and unclear.
Objective: This study seeks to elucidate the potential impact of metal mixtures exposure on sNfL concentrations in a representative sample of U.
