Long-term and short-term exposure to outdoor air pollution and its association with glycolipid metabolic disorders
This national cohort study shows that outdoor air pollution - particularly PM<sub>1</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub>, and their chemical components - is an important environmental factor contributing to GMDs, with long-term exposure showing greater metabolic toxicity than short-term exposure. The lack of association between indoor solid fuel pollutants and GMDs underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve outdoor air quality and reduce metabolic risks at the population level.
