Hypertension and Elevated Pulse Pressure Responsive to Biomass Pollutants Exposures in Young Workers From the Democratic Republic of Congo: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis

Hypertension and Elevated Pulse Pressure Responsive to Biomass Pollutants Exposures in Young Workers From the Democratic Republic of Congo: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis

Background Occupational biomass pollutant exposure as observed in charcoal workers may have significant cardiovascular effects. This study aims to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension and high pulse pressure (HPP), a marker of arterial stiffness, in charcoal workers compared wit...
