Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure and Risk of Cardiovascular Mortality: Adjustment of the Meteorological Factors
Few studies have explicitly explored the impacts of the extensive adjustment (with a lag period of more than one week) of temperature and humidity on the association between ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and cardiovascular mortality. In a time stratified case-crossover study, we used a distributed lag nonlinear model to assess the impacts of extensive adjustments of temperature and hu...
متن کاملEditorial Lp(a) – the underestimated cardiovascular risk factor
Despite optimized therapeutic approaches, coronary heart disease with its secondary diseases, such as myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure, as well as embolic stroke are the main causes of morbidity and mortality. They result from inflammatory processes induced by lipoproteins such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), VLDL and lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)). Fifty years after the first...
متن کاملAssociation of Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Risk Factors of Non-Communicable Diseases in Children and Adolescents
Background: Risk factors of non-communicable disease (NCD) origin from early life, and exposure to environmental pollutant may be a predisposing factor. This study aimed to investigate the association of air quality index (AQI) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with some NCD risk factors in a sample of Iranian children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was con...
متن کاملParticulate Matter (Fine Particle) and Urologic Diseases
Particulate matter (PM) has been found to damage vital body organs, including the lungs and heart, through vascular damage and oxidative stress. Recently, renal function and chronic urologic diseases have also been found to be related to PM. To investigate this, we reviewed the characteristics of PM related to renal toxicity, including recent studies on the associations of urologic diseases wit...
متن کاملHormesis for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5).
The hypothesis of hormesis - that substances that harm health at high exposures can reduce risks below background at low exposures, e.g., if they activate defenses without overwhelming them - becomes important for practical policy making if it holds for regulated substances. Recently, the U.S. EPA concluded that reductions in ambient concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air caus...
