Due to a combination of lifestyle risk factors, the burden cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been increasing in China, affecting an estimated 330 million people. Environmental factors can exacerbate these risks or independently contribute CVD. Ozone is overlooked and invisible factor, it plays significant role development Our study provides novel quantification ozone-attributable CVD mortality based on daily maximum 8-h average ozone concentration during May October (6mDMA8) Chinese adults 2050, projected under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways 585 126, using updated WHO air quality guideline level. The also considers contributions made by changes exposure, population aging, size, baseline death rates between 2019 2050. While adopting sustainable green pathway (SSP 126) reduce magnitude premature deaths 359,200 may not be sufficient significantly. Therefore, crucial implement strategies for stricter control reducing rate mitigate impacts adults.
