Background DNA methylation may mediate effects of air pollution on cardiovascular
disease. The association between long-term air pollution exposure and DNA methylation in …

Air pollution might affect atherosclerosis through DNA methylation changes in cells crucial to
atherosclerosis, such as monocytes. We conducted an epigenome-wide study of DNA …

Background Short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air pollution has been
associated with altered DNA methylation in observational studies, but it remains unclear …

Background DNA methylation (DNAm) may contribute to processes that underlie
associations between air pollution and poor health. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate …

Epigenetic mechanisms may underlie air pollution-health outcome associations. We
estimated gaseous air pollutant-DNA methylation (DNAm) associations using twelve …

Although underlying mechanisms of long-term exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular
disease remain obscure, effects might partially act through changes in DNA methylation. We …

Background: Epidemiological studies have reported associations between particulate matter
(PM) concentrations and cancer and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. DNA …

Rationale: Exposure to particulate air pollution has been related to increased hospitalization
and death, particularly from cardiovascular disease. Lower blood DNA methylation content …

Background Ambient air pollution is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes,
but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood; epigenetic effects including altered …

Background: DNA methylation is a potential pathway linking environmental exposures to
disease. Exposure to particulate air pollution has been associated with increased …
