Abstract Title:
Air pollution exposures and blood pressure variation in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients: A retrospective cohort study in China.
Abstract:
Air pollution exposure has been associated with hypertension, but limited studies have examined the associations in diabetic patients. We aimed to examine the associations of exposure to air pollution with blood pressure in diabetic patients. We identified patients who were previously diagnosed as type-2 diabetes mellitus from hospital records from January 2013 to May 2017. We used generalized linear models to estimate adverse effects of air pollution on systolic/diastolic blood pressure in diabetic patients. A total of 40,125 patients were enrolled in this study. An IQR increase in PM, PM, NO, SO, and Oexposure was associated with an increased risk of higher systolic blood pressure level (β = 0.628 for PM,β = 0.758 for PM,β = 0.766 for NO,β = 0.516 for SO,β = 0.482 for O, all P value
