A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 324 participants between ages 18 65 years from Sunsari Morang districts Nepal. semi-structured questionnaire helped obtain data followed by anthropometric measurements blood sampling. 25(OH)D level measured chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) via a fully automated Maglumi 1000 analyzer...
Introduction: Lead is a toxic metal which has contaminated our environment and created health problems around the globe. Children are vulnerable to lead as intake per unit body weight higher even low levels can cause neurological damage. Nepal lacks data on sources of exposure its impacts; hence screening blood mandatory.
