An analysis of trends in the burden of ischemic stroke caused by air pollution in China between 1990 and 2021
Elderly males are disproportionately affected by ischemic stroke related to air pollution, highlighting a critical public health issue. To mitigate this burden, it is essential for the government to implement targeted, gender- and age-specific policies aimed at improving air quality, enhancing healthcare access, and promoting preventive measures for vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly and men. These findings underscore the need for integrated strategies to reduce health disparities and address the ongoing challenges posed by air pollution.
