Table 4. Spearman rank correlation coefficients among age and blood metals concentrations.
Variables | Age | BPb | BHg | BCd |
---|---|---|---|---|
Age | 1 | 0.5025a | 0.4672a | 0.7795a |
BPb | - | 1 | 0.3800a | 0.4961a |
BHg | - | - | 1 | 0.4384a |
BCd | - | - | - | 1 |
BPb = lead in whole blood, BHg = mercury in whole blood, BCd = cadmium in whole blood.
aP < 0.01, statistically highly significant.
