Effects of major air pollutants on angina hospitalizations: a correlation study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Angina is a crucial risk signal for cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of ambient air pollution exposure on angina.

Objective

We aimed to explore the short-term effects of air pollution on hospitalization for angina and its lag effects.

Methods

We collected data on air pollutant concentrations and angina hospitalizations from 2013 to 2020. Distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was used to evaluate the short-term effects of air pollutants on angina hospitalization under different lag structures. Stratified analysis by sex, age and season was obtained.

Results

A total of 39,110 cases of angina hospitalization were included in the study. The results showed a significant positive correlation between PM_2.5,
