AND CHILDHOOD ASTHMA
Playing multiple outdoor sports in areas with
poor air quality triples the risk of developing childhood asthma (McConnell, 2002)
Childhood asthma incidence increased 16% per 10ug/m3 of fine particulate exposure, and 7% per 10ug/m3 of Nox. (Anderson, 2013)
A 5-ppb increase in average NO2 during the first year of life was associated with an odds ratio of 1.17 for physician-diagnosed asthma. (Nishimura, 2013)
Слайд 21AIR POLLUTION AND CVD
CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Rate of carotid intimal thickening is
doubled in people who live within 100 m of busy roadway
(Kinsli, 2010)
ACUTE EXPOSURE Each 10ug/m3 PM2.5
4.5% increase in acute cardiac events
8-18% increase in CVD mortality
(Pope, 2004, 2006, 2008)
Слайд 22AIR POLLUTION AND DIABETES
10ug/m3 PM2.5 = 1% increase in prevalence DM2
(Pearson,
2010)
Exposure to traffic and PM increased risk of new onset DM2 15-42% (Kramer, 2010)
Highest quartile maternal exposure to NOx increased gestational DM 70% (Malmqvist, 2013)
2SD increase in childhood exposure NO2/ PM2.5
= 18% increase in insulin resistance.

Kids in 90th percentile for traffic related air pollution have more rapid increase in BMI (Jerrett, 2014)

Слайд 65WALKABILITY DM, OBESITY, AND CVD
Sprawl and disconnected street networks are associated
with increased rates of obesity, diabetes, and CVD. (Marshall, 2014)
Residents of “walkable” metro areas walk more & use more public transit, have lower BMI & BP, less DM, and 3 years longer life expectancy than people living with sprawl. (Ewing, 2014)

Users of public transit are 45% less likely to
be obese or overweight (Zheng, Y. 2008)
Transit commuters walk twice as many minutes/day as car commuters, weigh an average of 6-7 lb less and have lower % body fat. (Flint, 2014)
Increased use of public transit would cut the annual increase in obesity prevalence by 45%.

Meta-analysis: Fructose consumption
increases FBG, triglycerides, and systolic BP. (Kelishadi, 2014)
Fructose sweetened beverages increase FBG and insulin levels, decrease insulin sensitivity (Stanhope, 2009)
Fructose induced insulin resistance in rats is attenuated by lycopene (Yin, 2014)

Nurses' Health Study/ Health Professionals Followup Study: 13% increase in mortality per serving (all cause, cancer, and CVD). (Pan, 2012)
Extra daily half serving of meat raised risk of DM 48% for subsequent 4 years (Pan, 2013)
Слайд 90OBESITY AND ASTHMA
