Association between particulate matter exposure and acute ischemic stroke admissions in less-polluted areas: a time-series study using a distributed lag nonlinear model.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

China has experienced a heavy public health burden due to the increasing incidence of ischemic stroke (IS). Few studies have evaluated the relationship between particulate matter (PM) exposure and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in relatively less-polluted areas, and the results have been inconsistent. As a result, this study aimed to investigate and evaluate the association between PM exposure and hospitalizations for AIS in an area with less air pollution.

Methods

Through collecting daily AIS hospitalizations, air pollution data and meteorological data from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2020 in Nanning, this paper explored the association between short-term exposure to PM (PM_2.5, PM₁₀ and PM_c) and daily hospital admissions for AIS using a di
