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 …

The global spatiotemporal pattern of the COPD burden attributable to ambient PM2. 5 is
unknown in the context of the continuing increase in exposure to ambient PM2. 5. Data on …

The effect of acute and long-term exposures to outdoor particulate air pollution on lung
function in healthy adults is not well established. The objective of this study was to conduct a …

The chronic impact of ambient air pollutants on lung function in adults is not fully understood.
The objective of this study was to investigate the association of long-term exposure to …

Rationale: Few studies have examined associations between long-term exposure to fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) and lung function decline in adults. Objectives: To determine if …

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is closely related to lower respiratory infections (LRIs).
However, the global LRI burden attributable to PM remains unclear. Here, we provide a …

Limited studies have explored the impacts of exposure to sustained high levels of air
pollution (air pollution wave) on mortality. Given that the frequency, intensity and duration of …

Rationale: It remains unknown whether long-term ozone exposure can impair lung function.
Objectives: To investigate the associations between long-term ozone exposure and adult …

Haze weather, characterized by low visibility due to severe air pollution, has aroused great
public concern. However, haze definitions are inconclusive, and multicentre studies on the …

A growing body of research suggests that air pollution negatively affects specific health
outcomes, but how long-and short-term exposure to air pollution are associated with frailty is …
