Under the background of global industrialization, PM 2.5 has become the fourth-leading risk
factor for ischemic stroke worldwide, according to the 2019 GBD estimates. This highlights …

Vascular endothelial dysfunction is an early stage to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but
whether air pollution exposure has an effect on it remains unknown. We conducted a …

The global burden of hypertension, the major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
globally, remains unresolved. Exposure to PM2. 5 has been linked to hypertension (HTN) in …

Background Epidemiological studies have explored the relationship between air pollution
and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (CVMDs). Accumulating evidence has indicated …

Background No prior study has examined the effects of air pollution on the progression from
healthy to chronic lung disease, subsequent chronic lung multimorbidity and further to death …

Background Both genetic factors and air pollution are risk factors for coronary artery disease
(CAD), but their combined effects on CAD are uncertain. The study aimed to …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been linked to metabolic diseases. However, the
effects of PM with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 1.0 µm (PM1) on metabolic diseases remain …

Genetic information may help to identify individuals at increased risk for hypertension in
early life, prior to the manifestation of elevated blood pressure (BP) values. We examined …

Long-term exposure to high-level ambient PM 2.5 was associated with increased risks of
brain disorders, while the associations remain uncertain when the exposure is lower than …

BACKGROUND: Our primary objective was to assess the association between joint
exposure to various air pollutants and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) and the modification of …
