In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the independent and synergistic effects of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) substitution and improved ventilation on household air pollution (HAP) reduction and cardiopulmonary health. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does LPG substitution or improved ventilation reduce HAP and improve cardiopulmonary health? 2. Would the combined intervention of LPG substitution and improved ventilation outperform single interventions? 3. What is the cost-effectiveness of such interventions, and are they sustainable? 4. Does the intervention reduce the incidence of cardiopulmonary clinical events? Participants will be randomized in 4 groups: A: Solid fuel + no ventilation facilities group (300 households): Continued use of solid fuels without installation of ventilation facilities and receipt of standardized health education. No LPG stoves or ve
