Long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution and asthma in low-and middle-income countries: A systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several epidemiological studies have examined the risk of asthma and respiratory diseases in association with long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution. However, little is known regarding the adverse effects of long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution on the development of these outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Our study aims to investigate the association between long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution and asthma and respiratory diseases in LMICs through a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Methods
