Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stressed, disorganized home life has been found to increase the risk of lead exposure during childhood and to exacerbate the negative health effects associated with lead exposure. Additionally, low-SES children are often more likely to live in environments where lead exposure is more common, and iron and zinc supplements have not been found to directly increase lead concentration in the blood. While there is research linking childhood lead exposure to various negative health outcomes in adulthood, including cognitive and cardiovascular problems, diabetes is not currently among them.
