Global trends in ambient particulate matter-attributable ischemic heart disease among the elderly (1990–2021)
Although global declines have been observed, the burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) attributable to ambient particulate matter pollution remains persistently high in Southeast Asia and Africa. Forecasts suggest that elderly individuals, particularly men, will continue to experience disproportionate health impacts in the coming decades. Targeted public health initiatives focused on reducing particulate matter exposure, especially among vulnerable aging populations, are essential to mitigate future cardiovascular risks and promote healthy aging worldwide.
