Description
Yanhu Ji and colleagues present a 2026 time-series study of air pollution and hospital admissions for ischemic stroke in Zhangzhou, China. Daily admissions, weather, and six pollutants were tracked from 2020 to 2023. A Poisson model estimated short-term effects by sex, age, and season. Burden was calculated against WHO and Chinese air standards.
Four pollutants raised admission risk: fine particles, coarse particles, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. Sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide showed no significant link. Each 10-unit rise in fine particles carried a relative risk of 1.0356 in their model. Effects ran stronger in men, in people under 65, and in the cold season. Overall, 7.0 percent of admissions, some 854 cases, traced to pollution above WHO guideline levels.
