PM2.5 and Cardiovascular Health Risks

Chayakrit Krittanawong et al.

Summary: PM2.5 is a frequently studied particulate matter metric that has been associated with cardiovascular health risks. There are currently no clear clinical practice guidelines for preventing cardiovascular health risks from air pollution. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to determine the relationship between PM2.5 and cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality.

Ambient air pollution and cardiovascular diseases: An umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

Jeroen de Bont et al.

Summary: This umbrella review summarizes the current epidemiological evidence linking ambient air pollution and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with a focus on geographical differences and vulnerable subpopulations. The review found strong evidence that higher levels of ambient air pollution increase the risk of CVDs, especially all-cause CVD mortality, stroke, and ischemic heart diseases. The associations were stronger in Asian countries and among vulnerable subpopulations.

Pollution and health: a progress update

Richard Fuller et al.

Summary: The Lancet Commission on pollution and health reported that pollution was responsible for 9 million premature deaths in 2015, making it the world's largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death. Updated data from 2019 shows that pollution is still responsible for approximately 9 million deaths per year, with reductions in some types of pollution offset by increases in others. Despite efforts, little progress has been made in addressing pollution, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries.

PM2.5 Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease-Associated Disability among Middle-Aged and Older Adults

Yanan Luo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the association between long-term exposure to PM2.5 particles and CVD-associated disability among Chinese adults aged 45 years old and above. The results show a positive association between PM2.5 concentration and the odds of CVD-associated disability. Reducing PM2.5 concentrations may contribute to preventing CVD-associated disability and reducing medical expenditures and rehabilitation fees.
