Ambient air pollution, dietary patterns, and the risk of incident cerebrovascular diseases: A prospective cohort study
While recent research suggests air pollution and diet interactively influence cerebrovascular health, prospective studies integrating socioeconomic and geographic factors remain limited. We investigated associations between air pollutants and cerebrovascular diseases, emphasizing modification effects of dietary patterns across stratified populations. In a cohort of 249,044 UK Biobank participants, Cox proportional hazard models and restricted cubic spline regressions were used to evaluate associations of four air pollutants (PM2.5, PM2.5–10, NO2, and NOX) with seven cerebrovascular outcomes. Stratification analyses included sociodemographic (sex, age, body mass index, Townsend Deprivation Index (TDI), occupation), lifestyle (smoking, alcohol), and geographic factors. Dietary interactions were assessed via pollutant-diet cross-product terms across five food groups. Over a median follow-up of 10.8 years, 11,369 cases of cerebrovascular diseases were identified. PM2.5 increased sequelae risk (HR = 1.102, 95 % CI: 1.039–1.169), particularly among males (1.132, 1.034–1.239) and adults ≥65 years (1.211, 1.098–1.335). PM2.5–10 reduced transient cerebral ischaemic attacks risk in non-drinkers (0.746, 0.577–0.964). Stratified analyses revealed heightened PM2.5-cerebrovascular diseases association in high-TDI populations (1.079, 1.058–1.101), manual workers (1.065, 1.010–1.121), and urban residents (1.096, 1.026–1.172). Regarding dietary patterns, grain product intake attenuated PM2.5 effects on cerebrovascular diseases risk (0.938, 0.893–0.986). Fruit intake reduced PM2.5–10-related sequelae risk (0.844, 0.748–0.952), particularly among high-TDI populations (0.833, 0.727–0.954) and urban residents (0.846, 0.738–0.969). This study indicates that prolonged exposure to ambient air pollutants may elevate the risk of cerebrovascular diseases, highlighting the importance of adhering to a healthy diet to mitigate the risk associated with air pollution.
期刊介绍:
The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.
The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
