Cadmium exposure, epigenetic modifications, and serum cystatin C: insights into mediated pathways and mortality risks in U.S. adults by Yu-Wei Fang, Ching-Way Chen, Ta-Chen Su, Chien-Yu Lin

“…Compared to the reference group (both blood cadmium and DNAmCystatinC ≤ 50th percentile), those with blood cadmium and DNAmCystatinC > 50th percentile had the highest mean serum cystatin C levels (1.26 mg/L vs. 1.11 mg/L; P for trend = 0.002). Structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that DNAmCystatinC partially mediated the relationship between cadmium exposure and cystatin C, with a total effect of 0.068, a direct effect of 0.066, and an indirect effect of 0.002. …”
