Residential Nitrogen Dioxide Exposure and Cause-Specific Cerebrovascular Mortality: An Individual-Level, Case-Crossover Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Existing studies have already shown a connection between nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) exposure and cerebrovascular mortality. However, the differential effects of NO₂ on cerebrovascular disease and its subtypes remain unclear and require further exploration.

Methods

Daily stroke mortality data between 2013 and 2021 in Shanghai, China were collected. Residential daily air pollution data for each decedent were predicted from a satellite model. An individual-level, time-stratified, case-crossover design was applied to examine the relationship between NO₂ exposure and cerebrovascular mortality. A combination of conditional logistic regression and distributed lag models with a maximum lag of 7 days was used for data analysis.
