- People living in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Cardiovascular impact of environmental factors (air pollution, noise pollution, metal exposure, climate change) in LMICs
- Air pollution, noise pollution and metal exposure (arsenic, cadmium, lead) particularly detrimental to CV health in LMICs
- LMICs likely disproportionally burdened by CVD provoked by environmental factors, with the least capacity to address its drivers and consequences
