Urinary inorganic arsenic concentration and type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension development: A population-based analysis in Arica, Chile.

Abstract:

Exposure to inorganic arsenic through drinking water is widespread and is considerate an important public health problem. Long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic is associated with cancer and cardiovascular disease including type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT). Studies that evaluated the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension have been consistent in population exposed to high levels of arsenic. However, the evidence is no clear regarding low levels of exposure.
