Association between Indoor Temperature in Winter and Serum Cholesterol: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Smart Wellness Housing Survey in Japan

Wataru Umishio et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between indoor temperature and serum cholesterol levels. The results showed that participants living in slightly cold or cold rooms had a higher likelihood of having elevated cholesterol levels.

Inverse Association of Skin Temperature With Ambulatory Blood Pressure and the Mediation of Skin Temperature in Blood Pressure Responses to Ambient Temperature

Yoshiaki Tai et al.

Summary: This study found that skin temperature, especially in the distal regions, is inversely associated with ambulatory blood pressure. These results have the potential for application in interventional studies targeting skin temperature regulation to reduce excess cardiovascular deaths in winter.

Seasonal Variation in Day-by-Day Home Blood Pressure Variability and Effect on Cardiovascular Disease Incidence

Keisuke Narita et al.

Summary: The study found that day-by-day home blood pressure variability measured in winter is more strongly associated with future cardiovascular disease incidence than that measured in other seasons.

Electrocardiogram abnormalities in residents in cold homes: a cross-sectional analysis of the nationwide Smart Wellness Housing survey in Japan

Wataru Umishio et al.

Summary: The research found that living in cold houses may have adverse effects on electrocardiogram, with a higher proportion of abnormalities observed compared to those living in warm houses. Maintaining an appropriate indoor thermal environment through proper insulation and heating device usage could contribute to better cardiovascular health.

Impact of indoor temperature instability on diurnal and day-by-day variability of home blood pressure in winter: a nationwide Smart Wellness Housing survey in Japan

Wataru Umishio et al.

Summary: The study suggests that maintaining a stable indoor temperature can reduce blood pressure variability, while outdoor temperature instability does not affect blood pressure variability.

Seasonal variation in blood pressure: current evidence and recommendations for hypertension management

Keisuke Narita et al.

Summary: Blood pressure exhibits seasonal variation, with elevation in winter daytime BP mainly due to cold temperatures and elevation in summer nighttime BP related to physical discomfort and poor sleep quality. Suppressing excess seasonal BP changes can contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease events.
