The role of lifestyle in the association between long-term ambient air pollution exposure and cardiovascular disease: a national cohort study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused by air pollution poses a considerable burden on public health. We aim to examine whether lifestyle factors mediate the associations of air pollutant exposure with the risk of CVD and the extent of the interaction between lifestyles and air pollutant exposure regarding CVD outcomes.

Methods

We included 7000 participants in 2011-2012 and followed up until 2018. The lifestyle evaluation consists of six factors as proxies, including blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, body mass index, tobacco exposure, and physical activity, and the participants were categorized into three lifestyle groups according to the number of ideal factors (unfavorable, 0-1; intermediate, 2-4; and favorable, 5-6).
