Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how seasonal changes affect flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and nondiabetic adults with hypertension/dyslipidaemia, focusing on those who exercise regularly.
- Over five years, the research found that FMD values were consistently lower in winter compared to other seasons for both groups, with T2D individuals showing a greater seasonal fluctuation in FMD.
- The results also indicated higher systolic blood pressure during winter months for both groups, while diastolic blood pressure was elevated in winter compared to summer, suggesting winter may pose additional risks for these populations.
