Description
Guanmou Li and six co-authors map air pollution and heart and brain vessel disease across China in a 2026 study. These diseases hit middle-aged and older people hardest, and dirty air is a known risk. Past work often tracked one pollutant or one outcome at a time, leaving the full picture patchy.
The team merged a national aging survey with a fine-grained pollution data set covering seven pollutants. Over twenty thousand people entered each of two analysis phases. City-level results tied worse overall air quality to higher rates of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Machine learning models helped rank which pollutants and traits mattered most.
