Abstract
|
|
|
There is scientific evidence that air pollution from par ticulate mat ter (PM) is associated with the increase in cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. The main aims of this study were to determine the combined effects of PM and
physical activity and to make recommendations to minimize PM’s impact on cardiovascular risk and diabetes. While previous studies have demonstrated the association of PM with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, there is a relative lack of evidence on the combined effects of PM and physical activity with subsequent diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk. Using the area-level PM database along with the Korean National Health Insurance Service database on individual-level health claims data, we determined the combined effects of PM and physical activity with subsequent diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk using a large-scale cohort study design. Analysis revealed that participants exposed to low and high levels of PM had lower risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease upon increasing physical activity levels. Based on this study’s findings, reduced diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk upon physical activity regardless of PM exposure is expected. However, this study suggested that further study is required to fully explain and support these findings.
