Correlation analysis of zinc and copper levels in the vagina. a Correlation between vaginal tissue zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels (mg/kg). A significant strong positive correlation could be detected between zinc and copper vaginal tissue levels (r = 0.82, p < 0.01). b Correlation between vaginal tissue zinc (Zn) levels (mg/kg) and the age (years) of women. A significant negative correlation was found between zinc levels and the age of women (r = − 0.27, p = 0.04). c Correlation between vaginal tissue copper (Cu) levels (mg/kg) and the age (years) of women. A significant negative correlation was found between copper levels and the age of women (r = − 0.56, p < 0.01)
