Association between ambient air pollution and outpatient visits of cardiovascular diseases in Zibo, China: a time series analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Facing Mount Tai in the south and the Yellow River in the north, Zibo District is an important petrochemical base in China. The effect of air pollution on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Zibo was unclear.

Daily outpatient visits of common CVDs including coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and arrhythmia were obtained from 2019 to 2022 in Zibo. Air pollutants contained fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM₁₀), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), ozone (O₃), and carbon monoxide (CO). Distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) including single-pollutant model in single-day (lag0-lag7) and cumulative-days (lag01-lag07), concentration-response curve, subgroup analys
