Moderating effect of a sodium-rich diet on the association between long-term exposure to fine particulate matter and blood lipids in children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies reported that exposure to higher levels of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) was associated with deteriorated lipid profiles in children and adolescents. However, whether a sodium-rich diet could modify the associations remains unknown. We aimed to examine the associations of long-term exposure to PM_2.5 with blood lipids in children and adolescents, and further examine the effect modification by dietary and urinary sodium levels based on a multi-community population in China.

Methods

The 3711 study participants were from a cross-sectional study, which interviewed children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years across Sichuan Province, China between 2015 and 2017. Blood lipid outcomes including blood total cholesterol (TC), high-dens
