Blood levels of lead, cadmium, and mercury in the elderly living in institutionalized care in the Czech Republic

Original language description

There is limited research examining the chemical load of toxic metals in the elderly. The aim of the present study was two-fold: to determine the body burden of lead, cadmium and mercury in association with age, gender, locality, lifestyle factors and potential health impacts among this population and to compare the values with blood values from the general Czech population aged 18-64 years. Lead, cadmium and mercury were examined in the blood of institutionalized senior citizens (46 males, 151 femalesaged 61-100 years) from two localities in the Czech Republic (Prague and Teplice) from 2009 through 2011. Measurements were made using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Pb, Cd) and a single purpose spectrometer AMA 254 (Hg). Geometric means (GM) of whole blood lead (B-Pb), cadmium (B-Cd) and mercury (B-Hg) levels were 25.3 mu g/l, 0.55 mu g/l and 0.21 mu g/l, respectively. No age-related differences were found for B-Pb and B-Cd levels but a negative correlation with age was o
