Association between air pollution and incident cardiovascular diseases among a population with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stages 0–3: the first evidence from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
Clinical Scorecard: Link Between Air Quality and New Cardiovascular Disease Cases in Individuals with Stages 0–3 of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome: Initial Findings from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome
Key Mechanisms
Prolonged exposure to air pollution, specifically PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and NO2, increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Target Population
Middle-aged and older Chinese adults with CKM syndrome stages 0–3.
Care Setting
Population-based cohort study.
Key Highlights
21.8% of individuals with CKM syndrome experienced CVD events during a 7-year follow-up.
Each 10-μg/m3 increase in PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 was associated with increased CVD risk.
Lower educational attainment was linked to greater risk of CVD associated with air pollution exposure.
Metabolic syndrome partially mediated the relationship between air pollution and CVD.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Evaluate cardiovascular disease risk in individuals with CKM syndrome stages 0–3.
Management
Focus on managing modifiable risk factors to prevent CVD events.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Monitor air pollution exposure levels in at-risk populations.
Risks
Increased risk of CVD associated with prolonged exposure to air pollutants.
Patient & Prescribing Data
Individuals with CKM syndrome stages 0–3.
Consider environmental factors, such as air quality, in the management of cardiovascular risks.
Clinical Best Practices
Integrate air quality assessments into cardiovascular risk evaluations.
Target interventions for populations with lower educational attainment.
