Environmental determinants of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health: interactive roles of air pollution, heat waves, and green spaces
Summary
This study examined how multiple environmental stressors, including air pollution, heat waves, and green spaces, interact to influence cardiovascular disease risk in populations with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic conditions. The findings provide evidence that these environmental factors do not act in isolation but interact in ways that affect overall disease risk. The study highlights the importance of integrated environmental and public health strategies for vulnerable populations.
Our findings provide novel evidence that multiple environmental stressors interact to influence CVD risk in the CKM population, highlighting the importance of integrated environmental and public health strategies.

Risk Factors for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease: Integrating Traditional and Novel Paradigms
This review integrates traditional cardiovascular risk factors with emerging environmental risk factors including microplastics, air pollution, and endocrine disruptors, arguing that a significant proportion of cardiovascular events occur in individuals considered low-risk by conventional models alone.
The Exposome and the Kidney: A Silent Dialogue Shaping Chronic Kidney Disease
This review explores how environmental exposures, collectively called the exposome, contribute to chronic kidney disease. Factors including air pollution, nanoplastics, pesticides, ultra-processed foods, and socioeconomic stress all appear to interact with genetic predisposition to influence kidney health. The study suggests that since genetics account for less than 20% of overall disease risk, understanding and reducing harmful environmental exposures could be an important strategy for kidney disease prevention.
Development of a Classification Model for Physiological Parameters in Relation to Ecological Aspects Based on Cohort Data
Researchers developed a classification model linking physiological parameters to ecological and environmental factors using cohort data, aiming to understand how environmental variables, socioeconomic conditions, and demographic parameters influence human health outcomes in the context of ecosystem modelling.
Individual and joint effects of exposure to phthalates and the risk of cardiovascular disease in the chronic kidney disease population: NHANES 2005–2018
This study analyzed health data from a large U.S. population survey and found that exposure to phthalates, chemicals commonly found in plastics, was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular problems in people with chronic kidney disease. The research highlights that individuals with kidney disease may be especially vulnerable to the health effects of plastic-related chemical exposure. The findings suggest that reducing contact with plastic products could be particularly important for this population.
Urbanization, Pollution, and Cardiovascular Diseases: A New Ecology of Risk
This review analyzed environmental cardiovascular risk factors — including air pollution, noise, climate change, microplastics, and passive smoking — in the Republic of Moldova, where CVDs account for 57–58% of mortality. The authors argued that environmental pollutants are a major but underaddressed driver of the high cardiovascular disease burden.
