title: [Application of PCA (Principal Components Analysis) for the estimation of smoking effect on the occurrence of trace elements in women's gallstones].
abstract: The PCA (Principal Components Analysis) was used to estimation of the role of smoking in the changes of elements contents in gallstones. The concentration of given elements were determined by ICP-AES method. It was stated that smoking regardless of sex, influence on the occurrence of elements in hydroxyapatites of gallstones, in particular it concerns changes of As, Pb, Zn, Se, Ti contents. PCA method let to describe the role of selected elements in entire chemical composition of gallstones coming from smoking women.
