Relationship between serum selenium, sociodemographic variables, other trace elements and lipid profile in an adult Spanish population

摘要

Introduction: Several studies have shown an inverse relationship between selenium status and cardiovascular health, although epidemiologic evidence yielded by the randomized trials did not find a beneficial effect of selenium administration. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between serum selenium levels and lipid profile adjusted by age, sex and other associated factors among a general adult population in Spain.
