由尘埃传播的新兴污染物 (EC) 与老年人非传染性疾病 (NCD) 的增加有关. 这些环境暴露,包括微塑料和PFAS,对健康构成重大风险,特别是对弱势群体.
科学领域:
- 环境健康 环境健康
- 老年学是指老年学的学科.
- 流行病学 流行病学
背景情况:
- 全球人口老龄化和非传染性疾病 (NCD) 的流行率上升,需要确定老年人的环境风险因素.
- 新兴污染物 (ECs) 越来越多地被检测到室内灰尘中,造成潜在的暴露风险,特别是对老年人群.
- 关于尘埃传播的EC对老年人健康的具体健康影响的研究有限.
研究的目的:
- 调查暴露于特定的尘埃传播新兴污染物 (ECs) 和老年人中高发病率的非传染性疾病的患病率之间的联系.
- 量化该人口群体中不同程度的EC暴露导致的NCD风险的潜在增加.
- 根据性别和地理区域等人口因素,探索这些协会的潜在差异.
主要方法:
- 在23个省份利用了微塑料,液晶单体,有机酸盐和和多基物质 (PFAS) 的省级尘埃测量.
- 估计了14466名中国参与者的EC暴露水平 (平均年龄84.7岁),使用尘埃测量.
- 员工倾向性得分调整后勤回归和G计算分析了EC暴露地板和NCD流行率之间的关联,并调整了潜在的混因素.
主要成果:
- 在特定EC暴露的高三位数和高血压,心脏病,白内障,中风,呼吸道疾病和关节炎的几率增加之间发现了显著的关联.
- 其中的例子包括与高血压相关的聚乙烯二甲 (OR,1.28) 和与关节炎相关的 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid (PFCAs) (OR,1.73).
- 据G计算估计,从低暴露到高暴露的情景中,疾病概率绝对增加了6-13%,这表明公共卫生影响很大.
结论:
- 尘埃传播的ECs对老龄化人口来说是一个未被认可的环境健康风险,有助于增加非传染性疾病的负担.
- 调查结果支持在环境卫生法规中采用预防性原则,超越传统标准的空气污染物.
- 需要进一步的研究来证实这些试点发现,并阐明观察到的关联背后的机制.
