Association of Environmental and Behavioural Factors with Cardiovascular Disease Mortality
Authors' conclusion
Our research highlights the significant influence of environmental factors on cardiovascular health, especially air pressure and humidity, beyond the known factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
