Association of residential air pollution and green space with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in individuals with diabetes: an 11-year prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To assess the long-term impact of residential air pollution and green space exposure on cause-specific mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

This study includes 174,063 participants newly diagnosed with T2DM from a prospective cohort in Shanghai, China, enrolled between 2011 and 2013. Residential annual levels of air pollutants, including fine (PM_2.5) and coarse (PM_2.5-10) particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), along with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), were derived from satellite-based exposure models.

Findings

During a median follow-up of 7.9 years (equivalent to 1,333,343 person-years), this study recorded 22,205 deaths. Higher exposure to PM_2.5 was signi
