Childhood Exposure to Air Pollution, Body Mass Index Trajectories, and Insulin Resistance Among Young Adults
In this cohort study of young adults, the long-term association between TRAP and insulin resistance may be partially explained by higher BMI and accelerated BMI growth from early adolescence into young adulthood. These findings highlight the importance of weight management in children, particularly those residing in highly polluted areas.
