Associations of long-term exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide with indicators of diabetes and dyslipidemia in China: A nationwide analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The associations between ambient NO₂ and diabetes and dyslipidemia have been controversial, and data is especially lacking in developing countries.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the associations of long-term exposure to NO₂ with diabetes and dyslipidemia in China.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study including 13,013 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHRLS). The annual average concentrations of NO₂ were estimated based on the residential addresses of participants. We applied logistic regression models to evaluate the associations of NO₂ with diabetes and dyslipidemia, and linear regression models to assess the associations with blood biomarkers.
