Location of Study Site Sample Clauses

Location of Study Site. Puno, Peru The Cardiopulmonary Outcomes and Household Air Pollution Trial (CHAP, Clinical Trials ID: NCT02994680) site is Puno, a province in southern Peru near Lake Titicaca. Puno is 3,825 meters above sea level and the province had a population of 229,236 inhabitants in 2007 (Figure 1) [16, 17]. CHAP study participants live in rural Puno province, where biomass-burning open-fire stoves are predominantly used for cooking [18]. The women in our study are often from ingenious communities and speak Aymara (a local language) and Spanish. Field staff members collecting data from participants are native Spanish speakers, and at least one member of the field team who speaks Xxxxxx attended each visit [17]. A 2014 cross-sectional study looking at indoor air exposures among rural and urban homes in Puno found that participants in rural homes (cooking primarily with biomass fuels) experienced daily indoor PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations that were 6-fold higher than participants living in the urban households (where liquefied petroleum gas was used) [18]. Additionally, rural participants cooked with traditional stoves for an average of 32 years in their lifetimes. Because women are the primary food preparers in the household, these data indicate that women in this region experience extremely high lifetime cumulative exposures to biomass smoke [18]. The exposure of interest is fine particulate matter (PM2.5). These are particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm. Fine particles are derived primarily from emissions of combustion processes such as wood or biomass burning [19]. These particles as small enough to be breathed deep into the lungs, remain suspended for longer periods of time, and there is some evidence in current literature of PM-related cardiovascular health effects [19]. The World Health Organization has set an annual average guideline for PM2.5 in indoor air at 10 µg/m3. For 24-hour average exposure, the guideline is 25 µg/m3 [20]. The outcome of interest in this study is blood pressure (BP), which can be an indicator for larger cardiovascular health outcomes because hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease [21]. We will use systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as our measures of BP, which is consistent with current literature [21-26]. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): • Normal BP levels are SBP less than 120 mmHg a...
