Associations of air pollutant exposures with Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic syndrome in Chinese middle-aged and older adults: a cross-sectional study based on CHARLS
Links between air pollution and heart, kidney, and metabolic health in middle-aged and older Chinese adults

Abstract
Each one-standard-deviation increase in PM₁₀ concentration is associated with a 16% higher odds of more advanced Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic syndrome.
- Long-term exposure to air pollutants, including PM₁₀, SO₂, PM₂.₅, NO₂, and O₃, is linked to increased severity of .
- The strongest association with CKM progression was observed for PM₁₀, with an odds ratio of 1.16 per 33.3 µg/m³ increase.
- An overall mixture of pollutants is associated with an increased likelihood of CKM progression, with an odds ratio of 1.20 per quartile increase in the pollutant index.
- Older adults (≥ 60 years) and residents of eastern China may be more susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution on CKM syndrome.
