Effect of PM_2.5 and its constituents on hospital admissions for cardiometabolic multimorbidity in Urumqi, China.

ABSTRACT: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) is caused by two or more of the diseases ischemic heart disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and stroke, and therefore requires more hospitalization and healthcare costs. However, few studies have investigated fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) and its constituents and the risk of hospital admissions for CMM. We aimed to study these associations in Urumqi, a representative area in northwest China. The effect of PM_2.5 and its constituents on the hospital admissions for CMM was determined using the quantile-based g-computation (QBGC) and bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) method, in which the constituents with the greatest effect on the hospital admissions for CMM were ranked as NO₃^- > SO₄
