Earthquake exposure raises the risk of cardiovascular disease in humans (95% CI: 1.66-2.55).
“In women, CVD risk increased twofold (95% CI: 1.66-2.55, P < 0.001), with gradients by age (≥ 65 years: HR = 3.98, P < 0.001)”

Earthquake exposure raises the risk of carotid atherosclerosis in humans (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.78-3.02).
“Among females, earthquake exposure was associated with significantly higher atherosclerosis prevalence (44.9% vs. 33.1% in males), with elevated adjusted odds ( OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.78-3.02, P < 0.001).”
