The Association Between Long-Term Air Pollution Exposure and Risk of Thyroid Eye Disease: A Nationwide Cohort Study in Taiwan
This study provides the first evidence linking long-term air pollution exposure to increased TED risk in individuals with thyroid disease. The findings underscore the importance of addressing air pollution as a modifiable risk factor for TED and advocate for the implementation of strategies to mitigate air pollution's adverse health effects. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and inform targeted interventions for TED prevention and management.
