Abstrakt: Background: Uncertainty remains about the long-term effects of air pollutants (AP) on multiple diseases, especially subtypes of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to assess the individual and joint associations of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), along with its chemical components, nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and ozone (O 3 ), with risks of 32 health conditions.
Methods: A total of 17,566 participants in Sichuan Province, China, were included in 2018 and followed until 2022, with an average follow-up period of 4.2 years. The concentrations of AP were measured using a machine-learning approach. The Cox proportional hazards model and quantile g-computation were applied to assess the associations between AP and CVD.
Results: Per interquartile range (IQR) increase in PM 2.5 mass, NO 2 , O 3 , nitrate, ammonium, organic matter (OM), black carbon (BC), chloride, and sulfate were significantly associated with increased risks of various conditions, with hazard ratios (HRs) ranging from 1.06 to 2.48. Exposure to multiple air pollutants was associated with total cardiovascular disease (HR 1.75, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) 1.62-1.89), hypertensive diseases (1.49, 1.38-1.62), cardiac arrests (1.52, 1.30-1.77), arrhythmia (1.76, 1.44-2.15), cerebrovascular diseases (1.86, 1.65-2.10), stroke (1.77, 1.54-2.03), ischemic stroke (1.85, 1.61-2.12), atherosclerosis (1.77, 1.57-1.99), diseases of veins, lymphatic vessels, and lymph nodes (1.32, 1.15-1.51), pneumonia (1.37, 1.16-1.61), inflammatory bowel diseases (1.34, 1.16-1.55), liver diseases (1.59, 1.43-1.77), type 2 diabetes (1.48, 1.26-1.73), lipoprotein metabolism disorders (2.20, 1.96-2.47), purine metabolism disorders (1.61, 1.38-1.88), anemia (1.29, 1.15-1.45), sleep disorders (1.54, 1.33-1.78), renal failure (1.44, 1.21-1.72), kidney stone (1.27, 1.13-1.43), osteoarthritis (2.18, 2.00-2.39), osteoporosis (1.36, 1.14-1.61). OM had max weights for joint effects of AP on many conditions.
Conclusions: Long-term exposure to increased levels of multiple air pollutants was associated with risks of multiple health conditions. OM accounted for substantial weight for these increased risks, suggesting it may play an important role in these associations.
