Climate Vulnerability and Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Disease in the United States
The Climate Vulnerability Index's climate change component was associated with the prevalence of CKM components (coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension). These findings suggest that populations with CKM may be associated with increased climate vulnerability, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of climate change as a determinant of health.
