Short-Term Ambient Air Ozone Exposure and Components of Metabolic Syndrome in a Cohort of Mexican Obese Adolescents

ABSTRACT: Ambient air pollution is a major global public health concern; little evidence exists about the effects of short-term exposure to ozone on components of metabolic syndrome in young obese adolescents. The inhalation of air pollutants, such as ozone, can participate in the development of oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelium dysfunction, and epigenetic modification. Metabolic alterations in blood in components of metabolic syndrome (MS) and short-term ambient air ozone exposure were determined and evaluated longitudinally in a cohort of 372 adolescents aged between 9 to 19 years old. We used longitudinal mixed-effects models to evaluate the association between ozone exposure and the risk of components of metabolic syndrome and its parameters separately, adj
