Observational analysis reveals air pollution exposure affects cardiovascular health in young adults, indicating environmental risk factors.

Higher average PM2.5 levels correlated with increased peripheral and central diastolic blood pressure.
An interquartile range increase in PM2.5 resulted in higher pDBP by 0.46 mmHg and higher cDBP by 0.50 mmHg.
Latent class growth analysis demonstrated consistent patterns, linking high air pollution exposure with poorer cardiovascular health.
There was minimal evidence of sensitive exposure periods or notable sex differences in the cardiovascular associations.

Soares et al. (2025) studied this question.
