Relationship between air pollution exposure and insulin resistance in Chinese middle-aged and older populations: evidence from Chinese cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to determine the relationships between mixed exposure to six air pollutants, namely, particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less (PM_2.5), PM with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers or less (PM₁₀), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), cobalt (CO) and ozone (O₃), and insulin resistance (IR) indices in Chinese middle-aged and older populations.

Methods

A total of 2,219 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), who are followed from 2011 to 2015, were included. Surface air pollutant concentration data were obtained from the China High Air Pollutants (CHAP) database. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to ex
