Abstract

An increase of 10 µg/m³ in exposure is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease risk.

  • 1,865 individuals were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease during a 7.4-year follow-up period.
  • Average concentrations of particulate matter over three years before the baseline were 31.29 µg/m³ for PM, 56.03 µg/m³ for PM2.5, and 95.73 µg/m³ for PM10.
  • Each 10 µg/m³ increase in PM exposure corresponded to hazard ratios of 1.135 for PM, 1.092 for PM2.5, and 1.075 for PM10 in relation to cardiovascular disease risk.
  • -related indicators, including TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR, may partially mediate the association between particulate matter exposure and cardiovascular disease risk.
  • Mediation proportions for these TyG-related indicators ranged from 5.54% to 15.30%.
