What is Association of long-term exposure to fine particulate matter and incident dyslipidaemia: A longitudinal cohort study about?
## Background: Evidence of the effects of long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (pm) air pollution on the development of dyslipidaemia is limited. this study aimed to investigate the association between long-term exposure to ambient pm and incident dyslipidaemia in a large cohort. ## Methods: We studied 66,702 participants aged ≥18 years belonging to a cohort from a standard medical examination programme conducted in taiwan between 2001 and 2014. the pm concentration at each participant's address was estimated using a satellite-based spatiotemporal model at a high resolution (1 km). a time-varying cox regression model was used to examine the association between long-term exposure to ambient pm and the development of dyslipidaemia. additionally, sensitivity analyses were conducted to examine the stability of these associations. ## Results: Compared with participants exposed to the 1st tertile of pm, participants exposed to the 2nd and 3rd tertiles of pm had respective hazard ratios of 1.02 [95% confidence interval (ci): 0.98-1.06] and 1.08 (95%ci: 1.04-1.13) for incident dyslipidaemia. sensitivity analyses generally yielded similar results. ## Conclusion: Long-term exposure
