Healthy lifestyle mitigates the adverse association of particulate matter with cognitive function: a 10-year longitudinal analysis of older adults in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both air pollution and lifestyle are associated with cognitive function, with air pollution showing detrimental associations and healthy lifestyles showing beneficial ones. The extent to which a favorable lifestyle can mitigate the adverse association of air pollution with later-life cognitive function warrants further investigation.

Methods

A total of 7 651 individuals aged 65 years and above from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) were followed up between 2008 and 2018. Cognitive function was measured at each wave using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) concentrations were assessed using satellite-based spatiotemporal models. A favorable lifestyle was defined based on four lifestyle factors
