This review examines cardiovascular disease and anemia linked to cadmium exposure in American Indian populations, suggesting mitigation strategies.
Emerging evidence reveals that cadmium exposure is associated with hypertension, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and anemia, among others. Toxic metal exposure poses a particular threat to American Indian/Alaska Native populations, particularly given their proximity to mining waste. This review aims to summarize and organize evidence explaining the cardiovascular and hematologic consequences of cadmium exposure in children, including specific data on this exposure in AI/AN people, and strategies and policy actions to mitigate these consequences in AI/AN children.
