Abstract

|
Particular matter has been linked to hypertension, but most previous studies have reported on the association between hypertension incidence or death and particular matter. This study aimed to estimate the epidemiological association between yearly concentration of particular matter less than 10㎛ (PM10) and the regional prevalence of hypertension in South Korea. This cross-sectional study used data on the regional prevalence of hypertension from the Korea Community Health Survey conducted in 7 major cities (with 70 communities) of South Korea in 2009-2013. PM10 data were collected from the National Institute of Environmental Research. We used generalized linear mixed model to represent the correlation among repeated observation. We found that a significant odds ratio of hypertension of 1 μg/m³ in PM10 was 1.006 (95% C.I. 1.003, 1.009). And also found the significant lagged effect of PM10 on hypertension prevalence during 5 years and the highest association at 2 years after exposure.
