A Hypothetical PM2.5 Intervention for the Risk of Hospitalization for Cardiovascular Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

There is limited direct evidence of the effects of policies regarding ambient particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5) on the risk of hospitalization for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This evidence is essential for estimating the benefits of meeting specific PM2.5 standards in the regulatory impact analysis.

Objective

To estimate the association of strengthening ambient PM2.5 standards with the risk of hospitalization for major CVD outcomes.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based study used data from the UK Biobank cohort and followed up the participants from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019. All participants were 60 years or older and had no history of hospitalization with a primary diagnosis of a spe
