Description

Stucki and co-authors present a 2023 cohort study on who breathes dirtier air and hears more traffic among Swedish women. Over twenty thousand women in Uppsala County, born between 1914 and 1948, were followed for two decades. Home addresses were matched to modeled particles, nitrogen dioxide, road noise, and greenness over time. Register and survey data supplied income, education, and lifestyle details.

City living was the strongest single predictor of high pollution and noise, and of low greenness. Other social traits layered on top in the full results. Splitting the analysis by town size showed the pattern bending with urban form. The authors add Swedish evidence to a European debate on whether dirty surroundings track social rank.
