Cardiovascular diseases burden attributable to ambient PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > pollution from 1990 to 2019: A systematic analysis for the global burden of disease study (2019)

CONCLUSIONS: The global CVDs burden attributable to APMP2.5 has contributed to the heterogeneity of spatial and temporal distribution. APMP2.5-related CVDs deaths have largely shifted from higher SDI regions to those with a lower SDI. Globally, APMP2.5-attributable CVDs pose a significant threat to public health and diseases burden has increased over time, particularly in male, old-aged populations. The governments and health systems should take measures to reduce air pollution to impede this rising trend.PMID:37984788 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2023.117678
