摘要：To clarify the effect of lead exposure on peripheral hemodynamics, acceleration plethysmography (APG) was performed for 48 male subjects occupationally exposed to lead (exposure group) and 43 male subjects with no history of occupational exposure to lead (control group). In the exposure group, the blood lead concentration (Pb-B) was also measured. Each APG parameter was assessed by comparing measured data with the standard aging curves. A significant negative correlation was obtained between the parameter - b/a and Pb-B. The exposure group showed significantly lower values of parameters - b/a (p<0.01) and d/a (p<0.05) than the control group. The parameter - b/a in the exposure group dose-dependently decreased with increases in length of working career (duration of exposure to lead) and Pb-B. The parameter - b/a significantly (p<0.05) decreased in subjects with working careers of 5 years or more and in subjects whose Pb-B was 40μg/100ml or more. These results suggest that lead exposure affects peripheral hemodynamics as evaluated by APG.
