Spatiotemporal trends of ischemic stroke burden attributable to PM2.5 from 1990 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the spatiotemporal variation in ischemic stroke attributed to particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) on global, regional, and national scales from 1990 to 2021 is essential for mitigating air pollution and controlling ischemic stroke.

Methods

The death and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were extracted from the Global Burden and Disease Study (GBD) 2021. We utilized joinpoint regression and decomposition analysis to assess PM2.5 exposure and pinpoint high-risk areas.

Results

In 2021, PM2.5 caused approximately 0.90 million mortality and 18.29 million DALYs due to ischemic stroke worldwide. The age-standardized rates (ASRs) of ischemic stroke linked to ambient PM2.5 slightly declined, while those associated with household PM2.5 significantly decre
