Abstract

This study systematically demonstrates the independent role of environmental factors in ARHL. High-calcium water and air pollution are identified as significant risk factors, while natural environments are protective. The effect of environmental exposures operates independently of an individual's genetic background. Furthermore, individuals with intermediate genetic risk may be more susceptible to calcium carbonate exposure in water.
