 NIEHS Press Release - Very Low Lead Levels Linked with IQ Deficits, According to NEJM Study - April 16, 2003
At the same time, the study found that an increase in blood lead from 10 to 30 micrograms per deciliter is associated with only a small additional decline in IQ.
Under this definition, more than one in every 50 children in the United States between the ages of 1 and 5 years is adversely affected by lead, which has been linked to lowered intelligence, behavioral problems, and diminished school performance.
The study followed 172 children in the Rochester, N.Y., area whose blood lead was assessed at 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months, and who were tested for IQ at both 3 and 5 years of age.

 ACP Observer, September 2004 - Is it time to expand your use of statins?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The recommendations say a target of less than 70 mg per deciliter is a "therapeutic option" for the subset of patients at very high risk.
While patients on moderate therapy reduced their LDL cholesterol levels to a median of 95 mg per deciliter, the intensive therapy group had less risk of major cardiac events by getting their LDL cholesterol even lower, to a median of 62 mg per deciliter.
Others note that 70 mg per deciliter is probably safe because people with hypobetalipoproteinemia, who have only half the normal LDL level, seem to be less likely to die from heart disease.

 Serum Retinol Levels and the Risk of Fracture
Conclusions: Our findings, which are consistent with the results of studies in animals, as well as in vitro and epidemiologic dietary studies, suggest that current levels of vitamin A supplementation and food fortification in many Western countries may need to be reassessed.
The risk of fracture was further increased in the highest quintile for serum retinol (P=0.06 for a quadratic term of retinol).
With the median value of 64.74 µg per deciliter (2.26 µmol per liter) as the reference value, there was an especially steep rise in the rate-ratio curve for men with serum levels above the 95th percentile (i.e., 88.80 µg per deciliter [3.1 µmol per liter]).

 #213 (12/26/90): A Nation That Has Poisoned Its Children [lead]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Before lead came into industrial use, human blood contained approximately 0.5 micrograms of lead in each tenth of a liter [deciliter] of blood (expressed in scientific shorthand as 0.5 micrograms per deciliter).
A microgram is a millionth of a gram and there are 28 grams in an ounce; a liter is about a quart; a deciliter is a tenth of a liter, or about half a cup.
When the average is 16, some children have 3 micrograms per deciliter and some have 30 or more.

 RACHEL'S ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH WEEKLY
In response to these studies, between 1970 and 1991 the U.S. government lowered the official "level of concern" for lead in children's blood from 60 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (mcg/deciliter) to 40 then to 30 then to 25 and finally to 10.
(A deciliter is 1/10th of a liter and a liter is approximately a quart.
During this period, it is slowly dawning on medical authorities that exposing children to toxic lead -- even at levels below 10 mcg per deciliter -- causes some of them to become impulsive, aggressive, antisocial, delinquent and violent.

 What you can do to stay healthier - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
If your total cholesterol is between 200 and 239 milligrams per deciliter, you're in the danger zone for developing full-blown high cholesterol (defined as 240 milligrams per deciliter or above).
If a fasting plasma glucose test determines your blood glucose level is between 100 and 125 milligrams per deciliter, you fall under the category of pre-diabetes, a condition that affects an estimated 41 million adults in the United States.
(A level of 126 milligrams per deciliter or higher qualifies you as having Type-2 diabetes, which occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin or fails to use it properly.) This pre-disease increases your risk of developing Type-2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

But for children who had blood lead less than 10 micrograms per deciliter, there was an 11.1 point reduction in IQ for the initial 10 microgram per deciliter increase in blood lead."
Before 1970, lead poisoning was defined by a blood lead greater than 60 micrograms per deciliter.
Under this definition of lead toxicity, one in every 30 children in the United States is adversely affected by lead exposure, including lowered intelligence, behavioral problems and diminished school performance.

 RACHEL's Hazardous Waste News #213
At 10 micrograms per deciliter and even lower levels of lead in blood, other adverse medical effects are observable in American children under 5 years old: cognitive ability (as measured on standard tests, including the Stanford Binet IQ test) is impaired at blood-levels below 10 micrograms per deciliter.
Children ages 6 to 24 months with blood-lead of 10 micrograms per deciliter and higher score 4.8 points lower (out of 100), measured on a standardized test called Bayley Mental Development Index (MDI), compared to children with 3 micrograms per deciliter or less.
Thus there seems to be little doubt that lead in children's blood at 10 micrograms per deciliter or even less retards physical, mental, and perhaps emotional development; these effects are permanent.

 More frequent monitoring advised for people with diabetes I and 2
A Johns Hopkins study suggests that people with type I and type II diabetes would be well advised to monitor their blood sugar levels more than the usual twice daily to make sure that levels are not elevated over 150 milligrams per deciliter for sustained periods.
The monitoring of glycated hemoglobin is a longer-term measure of blood sugar control, reflecting a three-month average of blood sugar levels.
This contrasts with the more commonly known measurement of milligrams per deciliter, which reflects daily blood sugar levels, and is used by people with diabetes, who often carry finger-prick devices to check their blood glucose levels throughout the day.

 PUBLIC HEALTH: LEAD EXPOSURE AND CATARACT
Numerous studies indicate that blood lead concentrations above 10 micro-g per deciliter (0.483 micro-mol per liter) are associated with adverse outcomes on measures of intellectual functioning and social behavioral conduct.
Such studies led to the identification of a blood lead concentration of 10 micro-g per deciliter or higher as a "level of concern" by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization.
Although some studies in which the average blood lead concentration was below 10 micro-g per deciliter have reported associations between the blood lead concentration and cognitive deficits, the analyses did not focus specifically on children whose concentrations remained below 10 micro-g per deciliter throughout life.

Relative to control levels, the increases in triglycerides were 17 to 34 mg per deciliter greater in diabetic women than in diabetic men.
The median low-densitylipoprotein cholesterol concentration in non-insulindependent diabetics was 1 to 4mg per deciliter lower than the control level in women and 16 to 22mg per deciliter lower in men, and was 30 mg per deciliter higher than control in insulin-dependent diabetic women and similar to control in insulin-dependent diabetic men.
The decrease in median high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol in noninsulin-dependent diabetics was 2 to 7 mg per deciliter greater in women than in men, and the increase in highdensity-lipoprotein cholesterol in insulindependent diabetics was 3 mg per deciliter less in women than in men.

Assignments to the treatment groups were made with the use of sealed envelopes, with stratification according to the type of critical illness (Table 1), and were balanced with the use of permuted blocks of 10.
Only 39 percent of the patients treated with the conventional approach received insulin; their mean blood glucose level was 173+/-33 mg per deciliter (9.6+/-1.8 mmol per liter), as compared with 140+/-25 mg per deciliter (7.8+/-1.4 mmol per liter) in the patients who did not receive insulin.
Hypoglycemia (defined as a blood glucose level of 40 mg per deciliter [2.2 mmol per liter] or less) occurred in 39 patients in the intensive-treatment group and in 6 patients in the conventional-treatment group.

 Coronary heart disease, high-versus low dose Atorvastatin
On the basis of data from HPS and PROVE IT trials, the NCEP in conjunction with the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology subsequently introduced a more aggressive, but optional, LDL-cholesterol goal of less than 70 mg per deciliter (1.8 mmol per liter) for patients at very high risk for CHD.
The aim of TNT (Treating to New Targets) trial was to assess the hypothesis that reducing LDL-cholesterol levels to well below 100 mg per deciliter in patients with stable CHD and slightly elevated LDL-cholesterol levels could yield an incremental clinical benefit.
One group of patients was randomized to receive 10 mg of Atorvastatin (Lipitor) daily with the goal of an average LDL-cholesterol level of 100 mg per deciliter,and the other group received 80 mg of Atorvastatin daily with the goal of an average LDL-cholesterol level of 75 mg per deciliter (1.9 mmol per liter).
