The study aims to explore how lifestyle factors interact with the effects of air pollution on insulin resistance.
Analysis of the relationship between PM2.5 and PM10 exposure and insulin resistance.
Assessment of lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity.
Statistical analysis to evaluate independent contributions of air pollution to insulin resistance.
PM2.5 and PM10 are confirmed independent risk factors for insulin resistance.
Lifestyle factors do not significantly alter the impact of air pollution on insulin resistance.
Abstract
PM2.5 and PM10 were independent risk factors for IR regardless of lifestyle factors. Our findings can aid in developing policies aimed at controlling AP, a risk factor for IR, and its associated health risks.
