Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A new hypothesis suggests that deficiency of copper is important in the etiology and pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease. Several chemicals, called cholesterotropic and cuprotropic, that affect cholesterolemia also affect copper metabolism. Responses to some of these chemicals that have been tested in humans were compared on a molar basis. Dietary copper was approximately one hundred times as active in lowering cholesterol in plasma than was clofibrate which, in turn was six times as active as dietary fat. Dietary copper may be a powerful determinent of cholesterolemia.
