This study was performed to investigate the correlations between the status of leucocytes and serum levels of heavy metals in Korean rural 79 young women according to the body mass index.
The results were as follows;
1. The mean height, weight, PIBW and BMI were 158.54cm, 55.88Kg, 105.47% and subjects as their BMI increase(p<0.05).
2. The mean values of WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil and monocite were 7.25, 4.10, 2.36, 0.10, 0.04 and 0.05 × 10³/mm³, respectively. There was a significant decrease in lymphocyte in subjects as their BMI increase(p<0.05).
3. The mean serum Al, As, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn were 33.33, 28.41, 2.90, 95.97, 3.60, 2.31 and 93.65㎕/㎗, respectively. There were no significant differences among anthropometric assessments and serum trace elements.
4. There were no significant differences between the status leucocytes and serum levels of trace elements according to BMI.
This study was limited within only blood levels, therefore I hope there will be wider efforts to consider about the dietary intake levels of trace elements for presentation of the connection between dietary intakes of trace elements and status of leucocytes.
