Abstract

Few studies have examined the impact of ambient air pollutants on sensory impairments (SI_S) in adults. Using a nationally representative study of 13,505 participants from 125 Chinese cities, we investigated the association of air pollutants with SI_S among middle-aged and elderly adults. The SI_S were evaluated by self-reported visual impairment (VI) and/or hearing impairment. Residential exposure to particulate matter (PM) ≤ 2.5 μm (PM_2.5), ≤ 10 μm (PM₁₀), and ≤ 1 μm (PM₁), nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide were estimated using a satellite model. Each 10 μg/m³ increase in PM_2.5 (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 1.015, 95% CI:1.00-1.032) and PM₁ (1.035, 1.007-1.064) was associated with SI. Moreover, a significant association with VI was found for annual PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and PM₁. The association was stronger in individuals who had chronic diseases. Long-term exposure to PM_2.5 and PM₁, was associated with SI_S among adults, underscoring the importance of improving air quality to prevent SI_S.

中老年人长期暴露于空气污染物与感官损伤的关系：一项在中国进行的全国性研究。

很少有研究探讨环境空气污染物对成年人感官障碍（SIS）的影响。通过对中国 125 个城市的 13,505 名参与者进行具有全国代表性的研究，我们调查了空气污染物与中老年人感官障碍的关系。SIS通过自我报告的视力损伤（VI）和/或听力损伤进行评估。利用卫星模型估算了居民暴露于颗粒物（PM）≤2.5 μm（PM2.5）、≤10 μm（PM10）和≤1 μm（PM1）、二氧化氮和二氧化硫的情况。PM2.5 每增加 10 μg/m3（调整后的几率比，aOR 1.015，95% CI：1.00-1.032）和 PM1 每增加 10 μg/m3（1.035，1.007-1.064）都与 SI 有关。此外，每年的 PM10、PM2.5 和 PM1 都与 VI 有明显关系。这种关联在患有慢性疾病的人群中更为明显。长期暴露于PM2.5和PM1与成年人的SIS有关，这强调了改善空气质量以预防SIS的重要性。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
