In this table, the impact of increasing blood cadmium (Cd) levels on the risk of COPD is displayed with reference to blood cadmium levels in the range of 0.07-0.24ug/L, while varying the intake of anthocyanins. For example, when blood cadmium levels exceed 0.44ug/L and anthocyanin intake is greater than 11.56 mg, the risk of developing COPD is approximately 2.29 times higher compared to when blood cadmium levels are in the range of 0.07-0.24ug/L, with an equivalent anthocyanin intake (> 11.56 mg).
