“…Air temperature, especially cold temperature, has a short-term effect on blood pressure (Xu et al, 2019) because exposure to cold temperatures can increase activation and vasoconstriction of the sympathetic nervous system, and reduce endothelial function, which can lead to increased blood pressure (Park et al, 2020). The results of this study are in line with the findings showing that the percentage of patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) in the low-temperature group was significantly greater than that in the non-low-temperature group (p<0.05) because low temperatures can cause an increase in platelets and red blood cells, as well as increase blood viscosity, adhesion and platelet activation, all of which can lead to thrombosis (Chen et al, ), 2021Chen, Shang, et al, 2019;Halil Gibran & Heriyani, 2020;Hartwig et al, 2021;Jayarajah & Seneviratne, 2019;Karim et al, 2021;Polcaro-Pichet et al, 2019;Tochihara et al, 2021;Toffoli et al, 2023;Umishio et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2021a).…”

“…The diseases caused by exposure to air temperature mentioned above are related to the fact that the human body should be busy during the day and needs sleep at night to restore energy and heal. Some studies also explain that the temperature of the work environment, especially cold temperatures, can increase blood pressure (Chen et al, 2021;Chen, Shang, et al, 2019;Chen, Xue, et al, 2019;Halil Gibran & Heriyani, 2020;Hartwig et al, 2021;Jayarajah & Seneviratne, 2019;Karim et al, 2021;Park et al, 2020;Polcaro-Pichet et al, 2019;Tochihara et al, 2021;Toffoli et al, 2023;Umishio et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2021a). However, there are research findings from Grace et.al, (2017) which state that there is a significant relationship between exposure to cold air temperatures and changes in systolic and distolic blood pressure before and after work.…”

The human body regulates its temperature to normal levels when exposed to cold temperatures, which allows it to adjust to changes in its surroundings. The force of blood that the heart pumps against the artery walls is called blood pressure. Variations in fishermen's blood pressure may be affected by the cold working environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of blood pressure before and after exposure to air temperature in fishermen workers. With a single group pretest-posttest quantitative research methodology, this study used an experimental pre-research design. Univariate data analysis, bivariate using the Wilcoson test and multivariate using MANOVA testing. The study population was 57 fishermen of Tanjung Tiram District. By using the basic random selection approach, the research sample amounted to 50 respondents. Data collection using primary data obtained directly from fishermen workers on the Tanjung Tiram coast using digital tension meters and observation sheets. The analytical tool used is SPSS. The results showed that there was a comparison of blood pressure before and after exposure to air temperature, meaning that exposure to air temperature can increase blood pressure both systole and diastole, so maintaining health is needed for workers who work as fishermen.

“…The factors involved in seasonal BP differences were not addressed by our study because the trials from which data were retrieved did not collect relevant information. However, they have been the object of other investigations which have shown a role of lower indoor or outdoor temperature in the higher winter BP levels [33,37,[46][47][48][49][50][51] as well as of physical activity, greater socialization and reduction of work-dependent stress in the lower summer BP values [38]. These factors may operate at least in part via modulation of sympathetic activity which has been shown to increase as environmental temperature is reduced [52], and to be greater in sedentary people and in response to stress [51,53,54].…”

Background: Visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) variability associates with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. We investigated the role of seasonal BP modifications on the magnitude of BP variability and its impact on cardiovascular risk. Methods: In 25 390 patients included in the ONTARGET and TRANSCEND trials, the on-treatment systolic (S) BP values obtained by five visits during the first two years of the trials were grouped according to the month in which they were obtained. SBP differences between winter and summer months were calculated for BP variability quintiles (Qs), as quantified by the coefficient of variation (CV) of on-treatment mean SBP from the five visits. The relationship of BP variability with the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality was assessed by the Cox regression model. Results: SBP was approximately 4 mmHg lower in summer than in winter regardless of confounders. Winter/summer SBP differences contributed significantly to each SBP-CV quintile. Increase of SBP-CV from Q1 to Q5 was associated with a progressive increase in the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of the primary endpoint of the trials, i.e. morbid and fatal cardiovascular events. This association was even stronger after removal of the effect of seasonality from the calculation of SBP-CV. A similar trend was observed for secondary endpoints Conclusions: Winter/summer SBP differences significantly contribute to visit-to-visit BP variability. However, this contribution does not participate in the adverse prognostic significance of visit-to-visit BP variations, which seems to be more evident after removal of the BP effects of seasonality from visit-to-visit BP variations.
