[Adults aged 44 and older with high lead levels (6.7 µg/dL) had a 37 percent greater risk of death from any cause and 70 percent greater risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those without elevated blood levels. The study estimates more than 250,000 adults die prematurely each year from cardiovascular disease as a result of lead exposure over their lifetime.]
