Associations between short-term PM_2.5 exposure and daily hospital admissions for circulatory system diseases in Ganzhou, China: A time series study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous epidemiological studies have shown that both long-term and short-term exposure to fine particulate matters (PM_2.5) were associated with the morbidity and mortality of circulatory system diseases (CSD). However, the impact of PM_2.5 on CSD remains inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate the associations between PM_2.5 and circulatory system diseases in Ganzhou.

Methods

We conducted this time series study to explore the association between ambient PM_2.5 exposure and daily hospital admissions for CSD from 2016 to 2020 in Ganzhou by using generalized additive models (GAMs). Stratified analyses were also performed by gender, age, and season.

Results

Based on 201,799 hospitalized cases, significant and posit
