RESUMO

High blood pressure (BP) remains a public health issue of concern in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cooking with solid biomass fuel is common in LMICs, producing hazardous levels of household air pollution (HAP), and exposure to which results in significant morbidity and mortality. The primary victims are women, who are the immediate users. Therefore, a potential relationship between these factors would have massive public health reverberations. Our objective was thus to perform a literature review of the studies investigating the association between HAP and BP in women. We searched the PubMed, CORE, and Semantic Scholar databases from inception through March 2022 to identify reports investigating the relationship between BP and HAP from solid fuel use. The studies included in this report point to an increased risk of high BP from HAP generated as a consequence of using solid fuels for cooking. Conversely, few studies have reported a negative association between HAP and BP. Notably, this inconsistency and the limited evidence base necessitate confirmation of the association by more extensive and robust studies. Further, this report identifies a need to introduce and implement effective clean cooking solutions for public health benefits.
