Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a leading risk factor for the global burden of disease.
Household air pollution (HAP), resulting from the burning of biomass fuels, may be an …

Background Exposure to air pollution has been consistently associated with cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality, but mechanisms remain uncertain. Associations with blood pressure …

Background: Air pollution exposures are hypothesized to impact blood pressure, yet few
longitudinal studies exist, their findings are inconsistent, and different adjustments have …

Background—Evidence suggests that longer-term exposure to air pollutants over years
confers higher risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than shorter-term exposure …

Background Air pollution is known to have notable negative effects on human health.
Recently, the effect of air pollution on blood pressure among the elderly has attracted …

Background Hypertension is a highly prevalent cardiovascular risk factor. It is possible that
air pollution, also an established cardiovascular risk factor, may contribute to cardiovascular …

Background: Studies have suggested associations between elevated blood pressure and
short-term air pollution exposures, but the evidence is mixed regarding long-term exposures …

Numerous observational studies have assessed the association between ambient air
