Abstract

The study deals with the physiological measurements of cations and osmolality for fasting blood glucose(FbG), clinic blood pressure(CbP) and smokers among university students. A total of 254 students (77 females and 177 males) were registered. Including 41 healthy and 42 students who were FBG; 31 were healthy and 68 were suffering from CBP; 39 nonsmokers and 33 students who were smokers; aged 19–26 years. A significant increase was observed in the concentrations of trace elements (Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ excluding the smokers group), electrolytes (Na+) and osmolality, as well as significantly reduced serum Zn2+, Fe2+ and K+ for the three cases at (p<0.05) in compression with healthy students. The lack of Zn2+ and Fe2+ and the rise exposure to toxic elements from the three cases may be synergistic with the hazard factors linked with many diseases.
