The role of Air‐Borne Pollutant exposure on Brain and cognitive aging
Living in areas with greater concentrations of PM2.5 was associated with lower WM volume in older males compared to females. These findings suggest that the male brain may be more vulnerable to air-borne pollutive agents. Further research is needed to understand the mechanism of this sex-specific sensitivity.
