What is this study trying to find out about cardiopulmonary health?

This study is evaluating whether using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cooking and installing kitchen ventilation can reduce household air pollution and improve heart and lung health. Researchers aim to see if these interventions alone or combined reduce pollution levels and health risks. The study is led by Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Who may be eligible for this cardiopulmonary health clinical trial?

Adults aged 18 to 75 who live locally without plans to move soon and who cook frequently may be eligible. Both men and women can join as long as they do not smoke or have severe chronic diseases like advanced lung or heart conditions. Please review eligibility criteria for more details.

Is there any cost to participate in this cardiopulmonary health clinical trial?

Study-related care, including the study devices and all visits, is provided at no cost. However, personal travel and other expenses may not be covered and can vary. Participants should plan for any additional costs themselves.

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying whether switching from solid fuels to liquefied petroleum gas LPG and improving kitchen ventilation can reduce household air pollution and improve heart and lung health. This clinical trial aims to find out if using LPG, ventilation, or both together lowers pollution levels, improves cardiopulmonary function, reduces clinical events, and is cost-effective and sustainable. The study is randomized and includes multiple groups to compare these interventions.
