Description

Highlights: • The mortality risk ratios of LCd (+1 g) for all causes in women were dose-dependently increased (risk ratio: 1.08). • Relative risk of LCd for kidney and urinal tract disease, renal diseases and renal failure were higher in women. • Life prognosis was adversely affected by Cd-exposure, especially in women. Exposure to cadmium (Cd) via food is supposed to affect life prognosis of inhabitants of Cd-polluted area in Japan. However, there have been few reports demonstrating a significant relationship between the amount of Cd intake and mortality. We aimed to investigate the relationship between mortality and individual lifetime Cd intake (LCd) in inhabitants of the polluted Jinzu River basin, Toyama, Japan.
