“…Studies have reported that low calcium intake, low iron intake and poor nutritional status are associated with high umbilical cord BLLs (Baghurst et al 1987; Graziano et al 1990; Johnson 2001; Schell et al 2003). The distribution of determinants of prental lead exposure in Pakistan may be different from other settings because of differences in nutritional status, diet, environmental exposures and the cultural practices such as surma use(Akhter et al 2004; Lone et al 2004). The main purpose of this study was to determine if nutritional status in a Pakistani population where malnutrition is common is an important factor in fetal lead exposure.…”

“…Analysis of the study concluded that strontium concentration in the Pakistani diet is within the requirements whereas, the calcium concentration is insufficient for growing individuals as per international standards and needs improvement in its levels (Akhter et al, 2004). To summarize in this present study sodium and potassium content for consumption on daily basis is much lower than standard consumption value mg/day.…”

“…Concentrations of Pt were slightly higher in supermarket products compared with garden grown vegetables. 243 Akhter and co-workers measured Ca, Sr and U in Pakistani diets 244,245 as part of a programme related to radiation protection. According to the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), typical diets have adequate Sr but only about 60% of the necessary Ca.…”
