Overweight Modified the Associations between Long-Term Exposure to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter and Its Constituent and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Rural China.
Our findings indicate that PM <sub>2.5</sub> was associated with an increased risk of T2DM, with black carbon potentially being the primary contributor. Being overweight appeared to enhance the association between PM <sub>2.5</sub> and T2DM. This suggests that controlling both PM <sub>2.5</sub> exposure and overweight status may reduce the burden of T2DM.
