The association between PM2.5 and frailty: evidence from 122 cities in China and 7 countries in Europe
Our findings indicate that long-term exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> in the environment is a risk factor for physical frailty and may have a potential causal relationship. Given the rapid global aging trend, public health measures are needed to reduce PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations and prevent frailty.
