Long-Term Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objective: An increasing number of epidemiological original studies suggested that long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀) could be associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), but the results were inconsistent. We aimed to synthesized available cohort studies to identify the association between ambient air pollution (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀) and MI risk by a meta-analysis. Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched through September 2019 to identify studies that met predetermined inclusion criteria. Reference lists from retrieved articles were also reviewed. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Twenty-seven coho
