Children's blood lead levels in New Haven: a population-based demographic profile. 1982

R F Quah, and A D Stark, and J W Meigs, and E R DeLouise

This report presents the geometric mean blood lead levels of an 80% cross-sectional sample of children aged 1-72 months in New Haven, Connecticut. Blood lead levels were related to age, sex and race. It was found that age and race were independently important sources of variation in blood lead levels. Sex of children in this age group was not related to differences in blood lead levels. The highest geometric mean blood lead levels occurred in children between 25 and 36 months of age. Black children had higher levels than white or Hispanic children.
