Features: With the continuous deepening of China's healthcare system reform and the increasing awareness of self-care among the public, the role of trace elements in disease treatment and physical health has gained growing attention from readers. The content of trace elements in the human body is influenced by many factors. Common influencing factors include regional distribution of trace elements, personal dietary habits, age differences, gender differences, racial differences, lifestyle differences, and cultural education differences. Therefore, when assessing whether an individual's trace element levels are normal, it is advisable to compare them with those of healthy individuals in the same region, age group, and gender. Trace element levels in different regions are only used as reference values for diagnosis. During the compilation of this book, these factors have been taken into account, and efforts have been made to note them for readers' reference. This book systematically discusses the reference values, physiological significance, food sources, daily requirements, and changes in trace element levels in various systems due to common diseases, as well as treatment measures. In addition to being suitable for doctors, nurses, researchers, and pharmaceutical professionals, this book is also applicable to a broad readership, as the content on trace elements presented is closely related to daily life.
