Abstract
The association between PM2.5 and cardiovascular and respiratory mortality from a gender perspective is scarce in the literature, despite the fifth sustainable development goal (SDG 5) related to gender equality. This study aims to assess whether gender analysis in the association of PM2.5 on respiratory and cardiovascular mortality shows a different impact on women than men around diverse regions of the world. We conducted a scoping review of the Web of Science database citations for epidemiological studies published between June 2020 and October 2021. The articles that met our inclusion criteria were grouped into three categories based on gender-induced effects to compare the registered risks between men and women. Of 956 articles identified, 36 published were eligible. The regions with the most gender analysis studies were Asia (n = 15), North America (n = 15), and Europe (n = 6). Irrespective of the gender-induced effect category, 7 articles reported a higher risk for women than men, and 14 declared the contrary. The magnitude of the impact of PM2.5 on cardiovascular and respiratory mortality in women is unclear. Differences in covariates, methods of analysis, and regional characteristics of each country could influence the results. All studies lacked indoor PM2.5 measurements, which may bias mortality estimates for the female population. The use of indoor PM2.5 measurements would more accurately reflect the air quality that women and girls typically breathe.
期刊介绍：
Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health.
It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes.
International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals.
Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements.
This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
