Determination of 11 minerals in children using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

Abstract Background Minerals play an important role in children’s growth and cognition. In this study, our aim was to establish reference intervals of mineral level in Children of Liaoning province (China) and provide a reliable basis for future preventive healthcare guidelines. Methods Random sampl...
