| Abstract |
Retrospective study of 311 male workers in an alkaline battery factory aimed at investigating the relationship between cadmium oxide exposure and hypertension. Blood pressure measurements were available for a 30 year period. When age-matched groups of hypertensive and normotensive workers were compared, employment time was significantly longer in the hypertensive group. This indicates a possible relationship between cadmium oxide exposure and the development of hypertension. |
