Results of Generalized Linear Regression Analysis of the Association Between Single Plasma Heavy Metals (log10 Converted Values) and immune inflammation biomarkers. All above are adjusted for gender, age, Ethnicity, Educated, BMI, Smoking, Alcohol consumption, Marital status, Diabates, Dyslipidemia, and Hypertension. β is the change in the standardized systemic inflammatory index per 1 SD increase in log10-converted plasma heavy metal concentrations. The value of β at the blue dashed line is 0. P trend was examined by using the median of each quartile of plasma heavy metals as a continuous variable in the model. *P value/P trend in multiple testing
