Background: Indoor air quality and cardiovascular health are important occupational health concerns. This study reports associations between office-level indoor air measurements and cardiovascular diagnoses in workers in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: The authors describe a retrospective cohort of adult workers from January 2019 through September 2024, linking office-level pollutant data with hospital electronic health records and using adjusted logistic regression. Recruitment, linkage, exposure windows and model specifications require verification.
Results: The manuscript reports 1,200 workers and 170 participants with new or worsening cardiovascular diagnoses. Reported adjusted odds ratios were 1.58 (95% CI 1.22–2.05) per 10 µg/m³ PM₂.₅, 1.42 (1.15–1.83) per 50 µg/m³ VOCs, and 1.25 (1.07–1.47) per 100 ppm CO₂. The underlying estimates and reported p-values require verification.
Conclusion: The study reports associations between workplace air measurements and cardiovascular outcomes. Interpret each exposure using its measured averaging period and distinguish office-level exposure summaries from worker-level outcome risks. Correlated exposures and site-level differences limit causal interpretation.
