The association between Vapor Pressure Deficit and arthritis: Evidence from a 10-year longitudinal study of middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults
VPD was found to be negatively associated with the incidence of arthritis among middle-aged and elderly populations, with a particularly stronger effect observed in rural residents. These findings highlight VPD as an environmental factor associated with arthritis and may help improve understanding of environmental influences on arthritis development.
