TL;DR

Air pollutants and the built environment with iIGT or IFG+IGT are associated with increased incidence of IGT and decreased remission of iIFG, and co-exposure to environmental mixtures was associated with increased risks of iIFG, iIGT and IFG+IGT.

Joint association of air pollutants and lifestyles on early-/late-onset heart failure: a population-based prospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The interaction between air pollutants and lifestyles on heart failure (HF) and its variation by age of HF onset remains unclear. We aim to assess the joint association of air pollutants and lifestyles with HF and examine whether it differs between early- and late-onset HF. METHODS : A cohort of 2...

Early-Life Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Respiratory Outcomes: Mixture and Sex-Stratified Associations with Inflammatory Cytokine Responses.

PM2.5 is the primary predictor of respiratory outcomes and inflammatory responses during the first year of life, and whether these are modified by sex and temperature is investigated.

Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and circulating white blood cell homeostasis among adults in China: Time-window-specific associations and the mediating role of fasting blood glucose.

Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution perturbs white blood cell (WBC) homeostasis through inflammatory pathways. However, its pollutant- and time-window-specific, mixture-related associations with WBC counts, and whether metabolic dysfunction mediates them, remain uncertain. We conducted a retrospective cohort st...

Associations between serum persistent organic pollutants and type 2 diabetes in a multipollutant analysis using repeated measurements in the Tromsø Study

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) occur as correlated mixtures, and serum concentrations may vary over time due to changes in exposure and toxicokinetic processes. We investigated associations between a mixture of POPs measured repeatedly before type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis (T2DM). In a longitudin...

Interactive Associations of Atmospheric Humidity and Air Pollutants with Self-reported Chronic Lung Disease Risk: Evidence from a Nationwide Population-Based Study in China.

BACKGROUND Chronic lung diseases (CLD) pose a substantial public health burden. Although air pollution is a recognized risk factor, atmospheric humidity may influence respiratory health. Evidence evaluating multidimensional humidity indicators together with air pollution in relation to chronic lung disease in China rem...
