Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between air pollution and anemia, highlighting the risk of reduced hemoglobin levels.
Conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature on air pollution and anemia.
Performed a meta-analysis to consolidate findings from multiple observational studies.
Assessed the degree of heterogeneity in the studies included.
Found a significant association between air pollution and increased risk of anemia.
Observed reductions in hemoglobin levels linked to exposure to ambient and household pollution.
Detected high variability in study outcomes, complicating causal interpretations.

Implication

Comprehensive review finds air pollution increases anemia risk, indicating serious health implications.

Abstract

Ambient and household air pollution are associated with increased anemia risk and reductions in hemoglobin; high heterogeneity and observational designs limit causal inference.
