Background: Epidemiological studies have identified associations between air pollution and
green space access with type 2 diabetes in adults. However, it remains unclear to what …

Aims/hypothesis Epidemiological studies that have examined associations between long-
term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults are …

Background Air pollution may promote type 2 diabetes by increasing adipose inflammation
and insulin resistance. This study examined the relation between long-term exposure to …

Insulin resistance (IR) is present long before the onset of type 2 diabetes and results not only
from inherited and lifestyle factors but also likely from environmental conditions. We …

Background Metabolic syndrome is an important risk factor for non-communicable diseases,
particularly type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke. Long-term exposure to …

Background Green space is a newly modifiable environmental factor which would bring
health benefits, and identifying potential pathways is important to better promote public …

Access to green space may influence individual physical activity (PA) and subsequently
weight status, as increased exposure to green space could improve health by increasing …

Exposure to residential greenness might affect population health through increasing
physical activity and social engagement, improving mental health, and reducing harmful …

Background Impaired insulin sensitivity could be an intermediate step that links exposure to
air pollution to the development of type 2 diabetes. However, longitudinal associations of air …

Background Although long-term exposure to higher air pollutants and lower residing
greenness related to disorders of glucose homeostasis have been reported, their interaction …
