Healthier lifestyles can modify the air pollutants effect on cardiovascular disease among the middle-aged and elderly.

ABSTRACT: There is increasing evidence that air pollutants significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, less research has been conducted to date to reveal protective factors. Therefore, this study aims to indicate whether a healthy lifestyle can modify the effects of environmental pollution on CVD. This study screened 3010 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) Wave 3 (2015). The study aimed to systematically demonstrate the impact of environmental pollution on CVD and elucidate the role of a healthy lifestyle. Air pollutant data were obtained from the China High Air Pollutant (CHAP) datasets. We analyzed the relationship between these pollutants and cardiovascular disease risk using generalized linear mixed models. In addition
