Abstract

Inflammation is one of the suggested pathways linking exposure to neighbourhood air pollution and greenspace to psychological distress. Yet, inflammation has not been tested formally as a mediating factor in an adult human sample. Using data from 6813 adults participating in Understanding Society, the present study examines longitudinally the joint role of the two neighbourhood‐level exposures in psychological distress and the mediating role of inflammation. Annual concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and availability of greenspace in participants' neighbourhoods across England and Wales were examined. Psychological distress was measured with the General Health Questionnaire. Inflammation was assessed with C‐reactive protein and fibrinogen. A structural equation model path analysis showed that, in fully adjusted models, an increase in the amount of greenspace in one's neighbourhood was related to lower psychological distress 4 years later, but inflammation did not mediate this relationship. Neighbourhood‐level air pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide, was not associated with psychological distress. Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.
英国普通人群样本中的户外物理环境、炎症和成人心理困扰
炎症是将暴露于社区空气污染和绿地与心理困扰联系起来的建议途径之一。然而,炎症尚未作为一个中介因素在成人样本中进行过正式测试。 本研究利用参与 "了解社会 "项目的 6813 名成年人的数据,纵向研究了这两种邻里水平的暴露在心理困扰中的共同作用以及炎症的中介作用。研究考察了英格兰和威尔士参与者所在社区的二氧化氮年浓度和绿地可用性。心理压力通过一般健康问卷进行测量。炎症用 C 反应蛋白和纤维蛋白原进行评估。 结构方程模型路径分析显示,在完全调整模型中,一个人所在社区绿地面积的增加与4年后心理压力的降低有关,但炎症并不介导这种关系。 邻近地区的空气污染,特别是二氧化氮,与心理压力无关。 在期刊博客上免费阅读本文的通俗语言摘要。
