Spatiotemporal analysis of the burden of lower respiratory infections in the older adult population due to air pollution: trends from 1990 to 2021 and predictions for the next 30 years
While the global burden of air pollution-related LRI in older adults has decreased, regions with lower economic development, particularly in parts of Asia and Africa, continue to face high and rising burdens. Efforts should focus on strengthening the resilience of high-risk groups and implementing targeted interventions.
