Short-Term Effects of Personal-Level Environmental Temperature on Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Patients With Hypertension: A Multicity Panel Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The inverse association between blood pressure (BP) and ambient temperature is known, but evidence on personal-level environmental temperature (PET) and ambulatory BP among patients with hypertension remains limited.

Methods

This 3-phase panel study recruited 277 patients with hypertension with intermediate-to-high cardiovascular disease risk in 4 cities in China from November 2017 to August 2019. Continuous PET and ambulatory BP were recorded by personal portable monitors. We used generalized linear mixed-effect models to explore the associations of 24-hour daytime and nighttime ambulatory BP, BP variability, and circadian rhythm with PET. Generalized additive mixed models were used to fit the exposure-response curves. Subgroup analyses were stratified by BP cont
