With fewer newborns and people living longer, older people are making up an increasing
fraction of the total population. Epidemiological evidence shows that older-age-related …

Genetic susceptibility is likely to play a role in response to air pollution. Hence, gene-
environment interaction studies can be a tool for exploring the mechanisms and the …

Recent studies have linked air pollution to tens of thousands of premature cardiovascular
deaths per year. The mechanisms of such associations remain unclear. In this study we …

Background Cross-sectional studies suggest an association between exposure to ambient
air pollution and atherosclerosis. We investigated the association between outdoor air …

Exposure to ambient air pollution is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
These are manifested through several, likely overlapping, pathways including at the …
