Short-term exposure to reduced specific-size ambient particulate matter increase the risk of cause-specific cardiovascular disease: A national-wide evidence from hospital admissions
This study provides robust evidence of short-term associations between PM1 concentrations and increased hospital admissions for all major cardiovascular diseases in China. Our findings suggest a greater short-term impact on cardiovascular risk from PM1 in comparison to PM2.5 and PM10.PMID:37611473 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115327

Effect modification by high-concentration duration in the association between particulate matters and stroke hospital admissions among hypertension patients in Beijing, China
AbstractTo investigate the associations between particulate matter (PM) and hospital admissions for stroke and its subtypes among hypertension patients. We proposed a new modifier named high-concentration duration (HCD). Data on daily hospital admissions, air pollution, and meteorological factors were collected from 2014 to 2018 in Beijing, China. We included all patients with hypertension who were admitted to hospitals of secondary-level and above for stroke. Time-series analysis was conducted by fitting a generalized additive model. An interaction term of daily concentration and an HCD stratum indicator were included in ...

The role of high humidity on extreme-temperature-related mortality in central China
AbstractThe evidence of non-optimum ambient temperature and humidity-related mortality is widely reported. However, the joint effects of high humidity and extreme temperatures on mortality remain to understand. We collected mortality data and meteorological variables for 91 counties in central China, from 2017 to 2020. A traditional time-series model with a distributed lag non-linear model was first employed to estimate the location-specific associations between extreme temperatures or high humidity and extreme temperatures and mortality. Then, we conducted a meta-analysis to pool the county-specific estimated effect value...

Association between long-term exposure to PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > constituents and electrocardiographic abnormality: A nationwide longitudinal study in China
CONCLUSION: Differential associations between various constituents of PM2.5 and ECG abnormalities were found. The unequal toxicities for different chemical constituents of ambient particles on cardiovascular electrophysiological endpoints should be taken into consideration when considering the biological pathways linking PM2.5 and cardiovascular conditions.PMID:37572496 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108130

Incident risk and burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to long-term NO < sub > 2 < /sub > exposure in Chinese adults
CONCLUSIONS: This study provided nationwide cohort evidence for elevated risks of CVD incidence associated with long-term ambient NO2 exposure among Chinese adults, particularly in urban areas and among overweight/obese individuals. Our findings highlighted that reducing NO2 exposure below 2021 WHO guideline could help prevent a substantial portion of incident CVD cases in China.PMID:37478679 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108060

Potential role of ambient temperature as a trigger for intracerebral hemorrhage: a time-stratified case-crossover study in Tianjin, China
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Jun 13. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-27942-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe adverse effects of ambient temperature on human health are receiving increasing attention, yet evidence of its impact on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) onset is limited. Here, the relationship between ambient temperature and ICH was evaluated. A time-stratified case-crossover analysis was performed based on 4051 ICH patients admitted to five stroke units in Tianjin between January 2014 and December 2020. Conditional logistic regression was applied to evaluate the associations between the daily mean temperature (Tm) o...

Long-term cardiometabolic effects of ambient ozone pollution in a large Chinese population
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2023 Jun 7;261:115115. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115115. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLimited studies investigated the effects of long-term ozone exposure on cardiometabolic health. We aimed to examine the association of long-term ozone exposure with a range of cardiometabolic diseases, as well as the subclinical indicators in Eastern China. The study included 202,042 adults living in 11 prefecture-level areas in Zhejiang Province between 2014 and 2021. Using a satellite-based model with a 1 × 1 km spatial resolution, we estimated residential 5-year average ozone exposures for each subject. Mixed...

Short-term effects of individual exposure to PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > on hospital admissions for myocardial infarction and stroke: a population-based case-crossover study in Guangzhou, China
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Jun 5. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-28058-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSome studies have investigated the effects of PM2.5 on cardiovascular diseases based on the population-average exposure data from several monitoring stations. No one has explored the short-term effect of PM2.5 on cardiovascular hospitalizations using individual-level exposure data. We assessed the short-term effects of individual exposure to PM2.5 on hospitalizations for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in Guangzhou, China, during 2014-2019. The population-based data on cardio-cerebrovascular events were provided by ...

Hearing loss increases all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort Study
In conclusion, hearing loss was independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality, in a dose-response manner. Meanwhile, hearing loss and diabetes or hypertension could jointly increase the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality.PMID:37268810 | DOI:10.1007/s11356-023-27878-2

Air pollution and stroke hospitalization in the Beibu Gulf Region of China: A case-crossover analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Short-term increase in SO2, NO2, and PM10 might be important triggers of stroke hospitalization. All seven air pollutants were associated with ischemic stroke hospitalization, while only CO was associated with hemorrhagic stroke hospitalization. These results should be considered in public health policy.PMID:36965278 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114814
