Metabolic syndrome in the SCAPIS cohort — Investigating associations at low level exposure to ambient air pollution
Background
Studies on long-term exposure to air pollution at high levels suggest an association with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to study this relationship at very low levels, less well-studied, yet of public health importance.
Methods
The Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) consists of randomly selected subjects aged 50–64 years from six large cities in Sweden (n = 30,154). Participants underwent medical examination and answered a health-related questionnaire at enrolment. MetS was defined using established criteria. Residential exposure to PM2.5 and NO2 was modelled annually for each subject over 10 years before enrolment. Adjusted prevalence ratios (adj PR) were calculated both by quartiles of exposure and per 1 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5 and NO2, with adjustments for age, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors.
Results
Full information on exposure, covariates, and MetS was obtained for 13,997 (90.26 %) females and 12,978 (88.61 %) males, respectively. The 10-years mean exposures of PM2.5 and NO2 before enrolment were 6.57 and 11.47 μg/m3, respectively. The prevalence of MetS was 28.75 % in females and 38.20 % in males, respectively. Quartile analysis of PM2.5 did not reveal significant increased adj PR for MetS, neither in females nor in males. For females the adj PR per 1 μg/m3 was 0.91 (0.89–0.94) and for males 0.95 (0.92–0.97), respectively. Similar, but somewhat weaker, associations were seen for NO2.
Conclusion
Some inverse associations between air pollution and MetS were observed, but these results should be interpreted with caution due to limitations in the cross-sectional design. Results should not be interpreted beyond our studied exposure range.
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.
