Abstract

Air pollution has been associated with elevated blood pressure in adults. Data on this association in Nigeria, with the highest level of pollution in Africa is sparsse. The present study investigated the association between short-term exposure to particulate matter air pollution and hypertension. We conducted a case-control study comprising of 25 adults with hypertension and 25 age-, sex- and geographical location-matched normotensive controls. All participants had 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring at the same time as indoor particulate matter monitoring using a real-time particle counter and compared with the WHO guideline limit (25μg/m³). All monitoring was carried out over 24 hours during the wet season. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval for the relationship between hypertension and particulate matter exposure was assessed at P<0.05 using unconditional logistic regression model. Mean indoor PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ were significantly higher among hypertensive patients (33.68±14.05μg/m3; 45.17±19.53μg/m3) compared to normotensives (17.86±9.50μg/m3; 22.45±11.51μg/m3), p<0.05. We observed strong correlations between PM_2.5/PM₁₀ and clinic BP (rs=0.47, p<0.001/rs=0.46, p<0.001), day-time BP (rs=0.59, p<0.001/rs=0.62, p<0.001), night-time BP (rs=0.64, p<0.001/rs=0.67, p<0.001) and BP dipping (rs=0.31, p<0.05/rs=0.29, p<0.05). Household size > 5 persons (aOR: 9.37; CI: 1.37 – 63.95) and PM_2.5 > 25µg/m³ (aOR: 5.76; CI: 1.08 – 30.88) significantly increased the odds of hypertension. Short-term exposure to ambient PM air pollution was associated with a higher risk of hypertension. Air pollution reduction strategies may as well help in the prevention and control of hypertension. A large longitudinal study is needed to confirm these findings.
