Association between City-Level Particulate Matter Exposure and Frailty among Middle-Aged and Older Adults in China
Chronic exposure to particulate matter was significantly associated with increased risk of frailty. The exposure-response relationship between PM2.5 concentration and frailty showed a linear relationship, and the exposure-response relationship between PM10 and PMc showed a nonlinear relationship. Exposure to a mixture of pollutants carried a higher risk of frailty than exposure to a single pollutant.
