The impact of air temperature and humidity on Children’s blood pressure mediated by Lipids: A prospective cohort study
This study provides novel insights into the intricate interplay between air temperature, humidity, lipid metabolism, and blood pressure regulation in children. Lower average temperatures and extreme humidity levels were associated with increased risks of elevated BP, potentially mediated by lipid profiles. Early interventions targeting air temperature exposure and lipid metabolism could mitigate hypertension risk, promoting improved cardiovascular outcomes in children.
