HOW COLD WAVES INFLUENCE LDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS? A REGIONAL STUDY FOR CAMPINAS, SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL

Resumo

The increase in deaths from cardiovascular diseases in extreme temperature events, particularly during cold waves, is a phenomenon already reported in the literature. One of its mechanisms is the increased likelihood of atherosclerotic plaque formation due to higher concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) in the blood at periods of lower temperatures. This study adopts a data science approach to check evidences of this mechanism in the population of Campinas, a city in the southeast region of Brazil, with over 1 million inhabitants.
