Associations between Plasma Essential Metals Levels and the Risks of All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality among Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes.

In addition, sensitivity analyses indicated that association between plasma selenium, copper and all-cause mortality remained largely unchanged when we excluded participants who died within first 2 years of follow-up or participants with eGFR levels lower than 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 or who died accidentally during follow-up, although the inverse associations between iron and all-cause mortality did not reach statistical significance because of decreased power caused by the reduction of the sample size ( Table S3 ).
