Association of SO₂/CO exposure and greenness with high blood pressure in children and adolescents: A longitudinal study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We aimed to investigate the association between greenness around schools, long-term gaseous air pollution exposure (SO₂ and CO), and blood pressure in children and adolescents.

Methods

From 2006 to 2018, a total of 219,956 Chinese children and adolescents aged 7-17 years in Beijing and Zhongshan were included in this longitudinal study. Annual average concentrations of SO₂ and CO and the mean values of normalized difference vegetation index around schools were calculated. We used the generalized estimation equation model, restricted cubic spline model, and Cox model to analyze the health effects.

Results

Among all the subjects, 52,515 had the first onset of HBP. During the follow-up, HBP's cumulative incidence and incidence density w
