Differing associations of PM2.5 exposure with systolic and diastolic blood pressures across exposure durations in a predominantly non-Hispanic Black cohort.


ABSTRACT: Environmental health research has suggested that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure can lead to high blood pressures, but it is unclear whether the impacts remain the same for systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP). This study aimed to examine whether the effects of PM2.5 exposure on SBP and DBP differ using data from a predominantly non-Hispanic Black cohort collected between 2013 and 2019 in the US. PM2.5 exposure was assessed based on a satellite-derived model across exposure durations from 1 to 36 months. The average PM2.5 exposure level was between 9.5 and 9.8 μg/m3 from 1 through 36 months. Mixed effects models were used to estimate the association of PM2.5 with SBP, DBP, and related hypertension ty
