Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by a constellation of metabolic risk factors. We investigated the associations between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and residential distance to green spaces (GS) and major road with development of arterial hypertension (AH) and some components of MS. These associations were assessed among persons who live in private and multistorey houses. Methods: Were selected 1,354 participants for the population study, which is called MONICA (Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease Program). Poisson regression with robust variance estimation was used to evaluate the associations between the distance to high traffic road and GS and exposure to PM10, PM2.5, and NO2 levels assessed by using the LUR models for Kaunas city and the incidence of AH and other component of MS, adjusting for individual risk factors. Results: The negative impact of traffic air pollutants on the incident AH, reduced high-density lipoprotein (RHDL) cholesterol, and high triglyceride (TG) level was observed only in the participants who lived in multistorey houses. In these participants, the residential distance to major road closer than 200 m and the residential exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 above the median were associated with the higher risk of the incident AH (adjusted relative risk (RRs)), respectively, are 1.41 (1.10-1.81), 1.19 (1.01-1.42) and 1.27 (1.07-1.52)). In the participants, who lived in multistorey houses, residential exposure to PM10 above the median was associated with the higher risk of incident RHDL (RR=1.46 (1.05-2.05)). The residential exposure to PM2.5> median had a stronger impact on the incident AH in on-obese, with age ≤45 years, and lower education level participants. Conclusions: The negative impact of traffic air pollutants on the incident AH, reduced HDL cholesterol and high TG was observed only in the participants who lived in multistorey houses. [...]
