Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 5mb6R0x0. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective : Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the most common health threats to the adult population of the U.S. and other countries. The objective of this study was to examine the association between exposure to elevated annual average levels of Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) air quality index (AQI) and IHD in the general population. Methods : We combined data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the U. S Environmental Protection Agency air quality database. We analyzed the data using SUDAAN software to adjust the effects of sampling bias, weights, and design effects. Results : The prevalence of IHD was 9.6% among respondents who were exposed to an annual average level of PM2.5 AQI>60 compared with 5.9% among respondents exposed to an annual average PM2.5 AQI |
