Research Article: Associations of heavy metal exposure with diabetic retinopathy in the U.S. diabetic population: a cross-sectional study
Abstract:
Background: Mounting evidence suggests a correlation between heavy metals exposure and diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent and irreversible complication of diabetes that can result in blindness. However, studies focusing on the effects of exposure to heavy metals on DR remain scarce. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between heavy metals exposure and DR.
