Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The urban heat island (UHI) effect is increasingly recognized as an environmental risk factor for human health, yet its association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the impact of summer UHI exposure on T2D incidence, while examining the modifying role of genetic susceptibility and the mediating effects of plasma proteins. METHODS:...
