Joint association of air pollutants on cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

ABSTRACT: We estimated the association between combined exposure to air pollutants and the development of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM) and all-cause mortality. An air pollution score was calculated to determine the combined exposure to five air pollutants. CM was defined as the instance of at least two types of diseases. A genetic risk score (GRS) was calculated for each individual. A multistate regression model was used to investigate the effect of the combined associations of air pollutants on each stage of CM progression. After multivariable adjustment, the air pollution score was related with greater susceptibility of CM and all-cause mortality, and those with a high GRS for cardiovascular disease (CVD) or coronary heart disease (CHD) and a high air pollution score had a greater susceptib
