Accelerating Burden of Hypertensive Heart Disease in Low- and Lower-Middle-SDI Countries, 1990–2023: The Contribution of Cold Temperature Exposure
Background: Low- and lower-middle-socio-demographic index (SDI) countries face a rapidly growing burden of hypertensive heart disease (HHD). However, the contribution of non-optimal temperature, particularly cold exposure, remains poorly characterised in these populations. Methods: Using Global Burden of Disease Study...
