WQS regression showed a positive significant association between the mixture of metals and fasting glucose (β = 0.87; 95%CI 0.14, 1.61; p-value=0.023) identifying Mn, Cr and Cu as the elements with the higher weights, while a marginally significant association was found between the metal mixture and blood creatinine (β = 0.01; 95%CI=-0.001, 0.02; p-value=0.075) where Cd and Ti showed the highest weight.
