Although it has previously been shown that temperature is associated with cardiovascular disease, no investigations exploring the association between apparent (AT) and hypertension in farmers Zhangye Longnan, Gansu Province, China, have undertaken. As a commonly known risk factor for relationship examined Longnan to provide advice local governments on preventive measures.Daily data weather conditions were collected from 2014-2015. The Poisson generalized linear model distributed lag nonlinear (DLNM) combined investigate AT hospital admissions study areas.A non-linear both recorded. cold effects stronger than group subgroups. heat more deleterious entire group, female subgroup adult but male elderly Zhangye.This investigation indicates adverse impacts especially under low exposure levels. results this may promote formulation of further prevention measures disease.
