Comparison of Particulate Air Pollution From Different Emission Sources and Incident Dementia in the US.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Emerging evidence indicates that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution may increase dementia risk in older adults. Although this evidence suggests opportunities for intervention, little is known about the relative importance of PM2.5 from different emission sources.

Objective

To examine associations of long-term exposure of total and source-specific PM2.5 with incident dementia in older adults.

Design, setting, and participants

The Environmental Predictors of Cognitive Health and Aging study used biennial survey data from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2016, for participants in the Health and Retirement Study, which is a nationally representative, population-based cohort study in the US.
