Associations between indoor air pollution for cooking and heating with muscle and sarcopenia in Chinese older population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exposure to air pollution brings the advent effect for various diseases, but study about the relationship between air pollution and ageing is scant. We aimed to determine the associations between household air pollution for cooking and heating with muscle and sarcopenia in Chinese older population by a nationally representative study.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included individuals aged 60 and above from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study between 2011 and 2015. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was defined by low muscle mass with low muscle strength and/or reduced physical performance. Generalized additive analyses and dose-dependent analyses with three models were used to assess the effects of different pattern of cooking and heating on muscle a
