Effects of long-term exposure to air pollutant mixture on blood pressure in typical areas of North China. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 285:116987. [PMID: 39299210 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 08/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies about the combined effects of gaseous air pollutants and particulate matters are still rare. OBJECTIVES This study was performed based on baseline survey of the Diverse Life-Course Cohort in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) Region of North China to evaluate the association of long-term air pollutants with blood pressure and the combined effect of the air pollutants mixture among 32821 natural han population aged 20 years or above. METHODS Three-year average exposure to air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, PM1, O3, SO2, NO2, and CO) and PM2.5 components [black carbon (BC), ammonium (NH4+), nitrate (NO3-), sulfate (SO42-), and organic matter (OM)] of residential areas were calculated based on well-validated models. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) were used to estimate the associations of air pollutants exposure with the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), Mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse pressure (PP) and prevalent hypertension. Quantile g-Computation and Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression (BKMR) were employed to assess the combined effect of the air pollutant mixture. RESULTS We found that long-term exposures of O3, PM2.5, and PM2.5 components were stably and strongly associated with elevated SBP, DBP, and MAP and prevalent hypertension. O3 increased SBP, DBP, and MAP at a similar extent, but with greater effects; while, PM2.5 and PM2.5 components had a greater impact on SBP than DBP, which increased PP simultaneously. In multi-pollutant models, the combined effects of the air pollutant mixture on blood pressure and prevalent hypertension was predominantly influenced by O3, PM2.5, and O3, OM in different models, respectively. For example, O3, PM2.5 contributed 57.25 %, 39.22 % of the positive combined effect of the air pollutant mixture on SBP; and O3, OM positively contributed 70.00 %, 30.00 % on prevalent hypertension, respectively. There were interactions between O3, CO, SO2 and PM2.5 components on hbp, SBP and PP. CONCLUSIONS The results showed positive associations of air pollutant mixtures with blood pressure, where O3 and PM2.5 (especially OM) might be primary contributors. There were interactions between gaseous air pollutants and PM2.5 components on blood pressure and prevalent hypertension.

Abstract
Background Previous studies indicated that exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) could increase the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the specific impact of PM2.5 chemical components remains uncertain. Methods A national cross-sectional study of 12,846 Chinese middle-aged and older adults was conducted. Satellite-based spatiotemporal models were employed to determine the 3-year average PM2.5 components exposure, including sulfates (SO4 2-), nitrates (NO3 -), ammonia (NH4 +), black carbon (BC), and organic matter (OM). Generalized linear models were used to investigate the associations of PM2.5 components with MetS and the components of MetS, and restricted cubic splines curves were used to establish the exposure-response relationships between PM2.5 components with MetS, as well as the components of MetS. Results MetS risk increased by 35.1, 33.5, 33.6, 31.2, 32.4, and 31.4% for every inter-quartile range rise in PM2.5, SO4 2-, NO3 -, NH4 +, OM and BC, respectively. For MetS components, PM2.5 chemical components were associated with evaluated risks of central obesity, high blood pressure (high-BP), high fasting glucose (high-FBG), and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (low-HDL). Conclusion This study indicated that exposure to PM2.5 components is related to increased risk of MetS and its components, including central obesity, high-BP, high-FBG, and low-HDL. Moreover, we found that the adverse effect of PM2.5 chemical components on MetS was more sensitive to people who were single, divorced, or widowed than married people.

Abstract
The escalating prevalence of MetS, driven by global obesity trends, underscores the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. To gain a deeper understanding of the therapeutic potential of vitamin D in addressing MetS, we embarked on a targeted literature review that thoroughly examines the scientific underpinnings and pivotal discoveries derived from pertinent studies, aiming to unravel the intricate mechanisms through which vitamin D exerts its effects on MetS and its components. This article explores the multifunctional role of vitamin D in the management of MetS, focusing on its regulatory effects on insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and immune response. Through an extensive review of current research, we unveil the complex mechanisms by which vitamin D influences MetS components, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent. Our analysis reveals that vitamin D's efficacy extends beyond bone health to include significant impacts on cellular and molecular pathways critical to MetS. We advocate for further research to optimize vitamin D supplementation as a component of precision medicine for MetS, considering the safety concerns related to dosage and long-term use.

[PMID: 38733545 DOI: 10.1007/s00420-024-02072-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a widely observed metabolic disorder that is increasingly prevalent worldwide, leading to substantial societal consequences. Previous studies have conducted two separate meta-analyses to investigate the relationship between MetS and air pollutants. However, these studies yielded conflicting results, necessitating a thorough systematic review and meta-analysis to reassess the link between different air pollutants and the risk of developing MetS. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of relevant literature in databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to October 9, 2023. The search was specifically restricted to publications in the English language. Following the screening of studies investigating the correlation between air pollution and MetS, we utilized random-effects models to calculate pooled effect sizes along with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We would like to highlight that this study has been registered with PROSPERO, and it can be identified by the registration number CRD42023484421. RESULTS The study included twenty-four eligible studies. The results revealed that an increase of 10 μg/m3 in annual concentrations of PM1, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, and O3 was associated with a 29% increase in metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk for PM1 (OR = 1.29 [CI 1.07-1.54]), an 8% increase for PM2.5 (OR = 1.08 [CI 1.06-1.10]), a 17% increase for PM10 (OR = 1.17 [CI 1.08-1.27]), a 24% increase for NO2 (OR = 1.24 [CI 1.01-1.51]), a 19% increase for SO2 (OR = 1.19 [CI 1.04-1.36]), and a 10% increase for O3 (OR = 1.10 [CI 1.07-1.13]). CONCLUSION The findings of this study demonstrate a significant association between exposure to fine particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), and the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Moreover, the results suggest that air pollution exposure could potentially contribute to the development of MetS in humans.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH 2024; 34:2830-2842. [PMID: 37972108 DOI: 10.1080/09603123.2023.2275658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
This study explored whether household and outdoor air pollution is associated with a greater risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) among women. In all 11,860 women who cooked with clean energy were included in the analysis. Cooking frequency, range hood use during cooking, passive smoking exposure, and solid fuel use for heating were used to represent household air pollution. The 2-year average concentration of PM2.5, and face mask usage were used to reflect outdoor air pollution exposure. An index of air pollution exposure was also constructed. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the association between air pollution and risk for MetS, and a positive correlation was found. Our results indicated that household cooking used clean energy and exposure to a high level of outdoor PM2.5 without face mask usage may contribute to an increased risk for MetS among women.

Associations of Long-Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Constituents With Cardiovascular Diseases and Underlying Metabolic Mediations: A Prospective Population-Based Cohort in Southwest China. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e033455.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The health effects of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) might differ depending on compositional variations. Little is known about the joint effect of PM2.5 constituents on metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aims to evaluate the combined associations of PM2.5 components with CVD, identify the most detrimental constituent, and further quantify the mediation effect of metabolic syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 14 427 adults were included in a cohort study in Sichuan, China, and were followed to obtain the diagnosis of CVD until 2021. Metabolic syndrome was defined by the simultaneous occurrence of multiple metabolic disorders measured at baseline. The concentrations of PM2.5 chemical constituents within a 1-km2 grid were derived based on satellite- and ground-based detection methods. Cox proportional hazard models showed that black carbon, organic matter (OM), nitrate, ammonium, chloride, and sulfate were positively associated with CVD risks, with hazard ratios (HRs) ranging from 1.24 to 2.11 (all P<0.05). Quantile g-computation showed positive associations with 4 types of CVD risks (HRs ranging from 1.48 to 2.25, all P<0.05). OM and chloride had maximum weights for CVD risks. Causal mediation analysis showed that the positive association of OM with total CVD was mediated by metabolic syndrome, with a mediation proportion of 1.3% (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to PM2.5 chemical constituents is positively associated with CVD risks. OM and chloride appear to play the most responsible role in the positive associations between PM2.5 and CVD. OM is probably associated with CVD through metabolic-related pathways.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to evaluate the association of occupational noise with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components, and to assess the potential role of miRNAs in occupational noise-associated MetS. METHODS A total of 854 participants were enrolled in our study. Cumulative noise exposure (CNE) was estimated in conjunction with workplace noise test records and research participants' employment histories. Logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders were used to assess the association of CNE and miRNAs with MetS and its components. RESULTS We observed linear positive dose-response associations between occupational noise exposure and the prevalence of MetS (OR: 1.031; 95 % CI: 1.008, 1.055). And linear and nonlinear relationship were also found for the association of occupational noise exposure with high blood pressure (OR: 1.024; 95 % CI: 1.007, 1.041) and reduced high-density lipoprotein (OR: 1.051; 95 % CI: 1.031, 1.072), respectively. MiR-200a-3p, miR-92a-3p and miR-21-5p were inversely associated with CNE, or the prevalence of MetS and its components (all P < 0.05). However, we did not find any statistically significant mediation effect of miRNAs in the associations of CNE with MetS. Furthermore, the prevalence of bilateral hearing loss in high-frequency increased (OR: 1.036; 95 % CI: 1.008, 1.067) with CNE level rising, and participants with bilateral hearing loss in high-frequency had a significantly higher risk of MetS (OR: 1.727; 95 % CI: 1.048, 2.819). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that occupational noise exposure is associated with MetS and its components, and the role of miRNAs in noise-induced increasing MetS risk needs to be confirmed in future studies.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to quantify the severity of metabolic syndrome(MetS) and investigate its association with cardiovascular disease(CVD) risk on Chinese adults. Methods 13,500 participants from the Zhejiang Adult Chronic Disease Study were followed up between 2010 and 2021. A continuous MetS severity score derived from the five components of MetS was used to quantify MetS severity, and the association between MetS severity and the risk of incident CVD was assessed using Cox proportional hazard and restricted cubic spline regression. Results Both the presence and severity of MetS were strongly associated with CVD risk. MetS was related to an increased risk of CVD (hazard ratio(HR):1.700, 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.380-2.094). Compared with the hazard ratio for CVD in the lowest quartile of the MetS severity score, that in the second, third, and highest quartiles were 1.812 (1.329-2.470), 1.746 (1.265-2.410), and 2.817 (2.015-3.938), respectively. A linear and positive dose-response relationship was observed between the MetS severity and CVD risk (P for non-linearity = 0.437). Similar results were found in various sensitivity analyses. Conclusion The MetS severity score was significantly associated with CVD risk. Assessing MetS severity and further ensuring intervention measures according to the different severities of MetS may be more useful in preventing CVD.

Liu C, Qiao Y. The association between long-term exposure to ambient PM 2.5 and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level among chinese middle-aged and older adults. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:173. [PMID: 38515043 PMCID: PMC10956307 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03835-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the impact of PM2.5 on human health has been intensively studied, especially the respiratory system. High-density lipoprotein plays a crucial role in removing excess cholesterol from cells and transporting it to the liver for excretion. However, the effects of ambient PM2.5 on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level have not been further studied. Our research aims to investigate the potential association between ambient PM2.5 concentrations and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels within the middle-aged and older adults in China. METHODS We employed data from individuals aged 45 years and above who were participants in Wave 3 of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The high-quality, high-resolution PM2.5 exposure concentration data for each participant were obtained from the ChinaHighAirPollutants (CHAP) dataset, while the HDL levels were derived from blood samples collected during CHARLS Wave 3. This analysis constitutes a cross-sectional study involving a total of 12,519 participants. To investigate associations, we conducted multivariate linear regression analysis, supplemented by subgroup analysis. RESULTS In this cross-sectional investigation, we discerned a negative association between prolonged exposure to ambient PM2.5 constituents and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. The observed correlation between ambient PM2.5 and HDL levels suggests that older individuals residing in areas with elevated PM2.5 concentrations exhibit a reduction in HDL levels (Beta: -0.045; 95% CI: -0.056, -0.035; P < 0.001). Upon adjusting for age in Model I, the Beta coefficient remained consistent at -0.046 (95% CI: -0.056, -0.035; p < 0.001). This association persisted even after accounting for various potential confounding factors (Beta = -0.031, 95% CI: -0.041, -0.021, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals a statistically significant negative correlation between sustained exposure to higher concentrations of ambient PM2.5 and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels among Chinese middle-aged and older individuals.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 341:122979. [PMID: 37989407 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) was associated with the risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the general population, but the contributions of individual PM2.5 constituents to this association and the potential pathway between PM2.5 constituents and MetS risk are not well elaborated. This study aimed to investigate associations between PM2.5 constituents and MetS in general populations, relative importance of PM2.5 constituents to and mediation effects of serum uric acid (SUA) on those associations. The 48,148 participants from a provincially representative cohort established in southwest China were included. The 3-year average concentrations of PM2.5 and its constituents (nitrate [NO3-], sulfate [SO42-], ammonium [NH4+], organic matter [OM], and black carbon [BC]) were estimated using a series of machine-learning models. Multivariate logistic regression and weighted quantile sum regression were used to estimate effects of independent PM2.5 constituents on MetS and their contributions to the joint effect. Mediation analysis examined the potential mediation effects of SUA on the associations between PM2.5 constituents and MetS. Each interquartile range (IQR) increase in the concentration of PM2.5 constituents was all positively associated with the increased MetS odds, including SO42- (OR = 1.15 [1.11, 1.19]]), NO3- (OR = 1.12 [1.08, 1.16]), NH4+ (OR = 1.13 [1.09, 1.17]), OM (OR = 1.09 [1.06, 1.13]), and BC (OR = 1.09 [1.06, 1.13]). Their joint associations on MetS were mainly attributed to SO42- (weight=46.1%) and NH4+ (44.0%). The associations of PM2.5 constituents with abnormal MetS components were mainly attributed to NH4+ for elevated BP (51.6%) and reduced HDL-C (97.0%), SO42- for elevated FG (68.9%), NO3- for elevated TG (51.0%), and OM for elevated WC (63.0%). Percentages mediated by SUA for the associations of PM2.5, SO42-, NO3-, and BC with MetS were 13.6%, 13.1%, 10.6%, and 11.1%, respectively. Long-term exposure to PM2.5 constituents, mainly NH4+ and SO42-, was positively associated with MetS odds, partially mediated by SUA.

Long-term exposure to PM 1 is associated with increased prevalence of metabolic diseases: evidence from a nationwide study in 123 Chinese cities. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:549-563. [PMID: 38015390 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-31098-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
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 unclear. This study is aimed at assessing the associations of PM1 with metabolic disease risk and quantifying the concentration-response (C-R) relationship of PM1 with metabolic disease risk. A national cross-sectional study was conducted, including 12,495 middle-aged and older adults in 123 Chinese cities. The two-year average concentration of PM1 was evaluated using satellite-based spatiotemporal models. Metabolic diseases, including abdominal obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, were identified based on physical examination, blood standard biochemistry examination, and self-reported disease histories. Generalized linear models and C-R curves were used to evaluate the associations of PM1 with metabolic diseases. A total of 12,495 participants were included in this study, with a prevalence of 45.73% for abdominal obesity, 20.22% for diabetes, 42.46% for hypertension, 41.01% for dyslipidemia, and 33.78% for metabolic syndrome. The mean ± standard deviation age of participants was 58.79 ± 13.14 years. In addition to dyslipidemia, exposure to PM1 was associated with increased risks of abdominal obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. Each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM1 concentrations was associated with 39% (odds ratio (OR) = 1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33, 1.46) increase in abdominal obesity, 18% (OR = 1.18, 95%CI 1.12, 1.25) increase in diabetes, 11% (OR = 1.11, 95%CI 1.06, 1.16) increase in hypertension, and 25% (OR = 1.25, 95%CI 1.19, 1.31) in metabolic syndrome, respectively. C-R curves showed that the OR values of abdominal obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome were increased gradually with the increase of PM1 concentrations. Subgroup analysis indicated that exposure to PM1 was associated with increased metabolic disease risks among participants with different lifestyles and found that solid fuel users were more susceptible to PM1 than clean fuel users. This national cross-sectional study indicated that exposure to higher PM1 might increase abdominal obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome risk, and solid fuel use might accelerate the adverse effects of PM1 on metabolic syndrome risk. Further longitudinal cohort studies are warranted to establish a causal inference between PM1 exposure and metabolic disease risk.

Serum metabolome and liver transcriptome reveal acrolein inhalation-induced sex-specific homeostatic dysfunction. Sci Rep 2023; 13:21179. [PMID: 38040807 PMCID: PMC10692194 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-48413-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Acrolein, a respiratory irritant, induces systemic neuroendocrine stress. However, peripheral metabolic effects have not been examined. Male and female WKY rats were exposed to air (0 ppm) or acrolein (3.16 ppm) for 4 h, followed by immediate serum and liver tissue collection. Serum metabolomics in both sexes and liver transcriptomics in males were evaluated to characterize the systemic metabolic response. Of 887 identified metabolites, > 400 differed between sexes at baseline. An acrolein biomarker, 3-hydroxypropyl mercapturic acid, increased 18-fold in males and 33-fold in females, indicating greater metabolic detoxification in females than males. Acrolein exposure changed 174 metabolites in males but only 50 in females. Metabolic process assessment identified higher circulating free-fatty acids, glycerols, and other lipids in male but not female rats exposed to acrolein. In males, acrolein also increased branched-chain amino acids, which was linked with metabolites of nitrogen imbalance within the gut microbiome. The contribution of neuroendocrine stress was evident by increased corticosterone in males but not females. Male liver transcriptomics revealed acrolein-induced over-representation of lipid and protein metabolic processes, and pathway alterations including Sirtuin, insulin-receptor, acute-phase, and glucocorticoid signaling. In sum, acute acrolein inhalation resulted in sex-specific serum metabolomic and liver transcriptomic derangement, which may have connections to chronic metabolic-related diseases.

Associations between residential greenness and air pollution and the incident metabolic syndrome in a Thai worker cohort. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOMETEOROLOGY 2023; 67:1965-1974. [PMID: 37735284 DOI: 10.1007/s00484-023-02554-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Increasing air pollution and decreasing exposure to greenness may contribute to the metabolic syndrome (MetS). We examined associations between long-term exposure to residential greenness and air pollution and MetS incidence in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Thailand. Data from 1369 employees (aged 52-71 years) from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand cohort from 2002 to 2017 were analyzed. The greenness level within 500 m of each participant's residence was measured using the satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI). The kriging approach was used to generate the average concentration of each air pollutant (PM10, CO, SO2, NO2, and O3) at the sub-district level. The average long-term exposure to air pollution and greenness for each participant was calculated over the same period of person-time. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the greenness-air pollution-MetS associations. The adjusted hazard ratio of MetS was 1.42 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.32, 1.53), 1.22 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.30), and 2.0 (95% CI: 1.82, 2.20), per interquartile range increase in PM10 (9.5 μg/m3), SO2 (0.9 ppb), and CO (0.3 ppm), respectively. We found no clear association between NDVI or EVI and the incidence of MetS. On the contrary, the incident MetS was positively associated with NDVI and EVI for participants exposed to PM10 at concentrations more than 50 μg/m3. In summary, the incidence of MetS was positively associated with long-term exposure to air pollution. In areas with high levels of air pollution, green spaces may not benefit health outcomes.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 869:161895. [PMID: 36709892 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Emerging research suggested a nexus between air pollution exposure and risks of overweight and obesity, while existing longitudinal evidence was extensively sparse, particularly in densely populated regions. This study aimed to quantify concentration-response associations of changes in weight and waist circumference (WC) related to air pollution in Chinese adults. METHODS We conceived a nationally representative longitudinal study from 2011 to 2015, by collecting 34,854 observations from 13,757 middle-aged and older adults in 28 provincial regions of China. Participants' height, weight and WC were measured by interviewers using standardized devices. Concentrations of major air pollutants including fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) predicted by well-validated spatiotemporal models were assigned to participants according to their residential cities. Possible exposure biases were checked through 1000 random simulated exposure at individual level, using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Linear mixed-effects models were applied to estimate the relationships of air pollution with weight and WC changes, and restricted cubic spline functions were adopted to smooth concentration-response (C-R) curves. RESULTS Each 10-μg/m3 rise in PM2.5, NO2 and O3 was associated with an increase of 0.825 (95% confidence interval: 0.740, 0.910), 0.921 (0.811, 1.032) and 1.379 (1.141, 1.616) kg in weight, respectively, corresponding to WC gains of 0.688 (0.592, 0.784), 1.189 (1.040, 1.337) and 0.740 (0.478, 1.002) cm. Non-significant violation for linear C-R relationships was observed with exception of NO2-weight and PM2.5/NO2-WC associations. Sex-stratified analyses revealed elevated vulnerability in women to gain of weight in exposure to PM2.5 and NO2. Sensitive analyses largely supported our primary findings via assessing exposure estimates from 1000 random simulations, and performing reanalysis based on non-imputed covariates and non-obese participants, as well as alternative indicators (i.e., body mass index and waist-to-height ratio). CONCLUSIONS We found positively robust associations of later-life exposure to air pollutants with gains in weight and WC based on a national sample of Chinese adult men and women. Our findings suggested that mitigation of air pollution may be an efficient intervention to relieve obesity burden.

Regional urbanicity levels modify the association between ambient air pollution and prevalence of obesity: A nationwide cross-sectional survey. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 320:121079. [PMID: 36640521 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Ambient air pollution exposure may increase the risk of obesity, but the population susceptibility associated with urbanicity has been insufficiently investigated. Based on a nationwide representative cross-sectional survey on 44,544 adults, high-resolution night light satellite remote sensing products, and multi-source ambient air pollution inversion data, the present study evaluated the associations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations with the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity. We further calculated the associations in regions with different urbanicity levels characterized by both administrative classification of urban/rural regions and night light index (NLI). We found that 10 μg/m3 increments in PM2.5 at 1-year moving average and in NO2 at 5-year moving average were associated with increased prevalence of obesity [odds ratios (OR) = 1.16 (1.14, 1.19); 1.12 (1.09, 1.15), respectively] and abdominal obesity [OR = 1.08 (1.07, 1.10); 1.07 (1.05, 1.09), respectively]. People in rural regions experienced stronger adverse effects than those in urban regions. For instance, a 10 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5 was associated with stronger odds of obesity in rural regions than in urban regions [OR = 1.27 (1.23, 1.31) vs 1.10 (1.05, 1.14), P for interaction <0.001]. In addition, lower NLI values were associated with constantly amplified associations of PM2.5 and NO2 with obesity and abdominal obesity (all P for interaction <0.001). In summary, people in less urbanized regions are more susceptible to the adverse effects of ambient air pollution on obesity, suggesting the significance of collaborative planning of urbanization development and air pollution control, especially in less urbanized regions.
