Epidemiological evidence suggests air pollution adversely affects cognition and increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but little is known about biological effects fine particulate matter (PM2.5, with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5μm) on early predictors future risk.
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease that varies in severity among patients. A standardized definition to classify patients into different levels lacking, however, due the disease’s complex pathogenesis and presentation. Prior studies have shown associations between pain higher healthcare resource utilization (HRU) costs. We investigated an association by examining use of specific OA-related treatments across intensity large, integrated health system’s OA population over...
Abstract Background Epidemiological evidence suggests air pollution adversely affects cognition and increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but little is known about biological effects fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) on early predictors future risk. Objectives We investigated association between 1, 3, 5-year exposure to ambient traffic-related PM cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers AD. Methods conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from 1,113 cognitively healthy adults...
