Abstract:Objective To analyze the effects of fine particulate matter, inhalable particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide and ozone on the incidence of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in Changji City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide evidence for optimizing prevention and control strategies for acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Methods Data on the incidence of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in Changji City from 2023 to 2024 were collected through the China Surveillance Information System of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events, and corresponding data on ambient air pollutants were obtained from the China Air Quality Online Monitoring Platform. A generalized additive model (GAM) was used to analyze the lag effects between air pollutants and the incidence of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Subgroup analyses were conducted by sex and age. Results A total of 3 796 cases of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events were reported in Changji City from 2023 to 2024. The median daily number of incident cases was 4.00 (interquartile range, 5.00). The results of GAM analysis showed that at lag day 3, each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 concentration was associated with a 0.9% increase in the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (RR=1.009, 95%CI: 1.000-1.018). At lag day 1, each 10 μg/m3 increase in NO2 concentration was associated with a 5.3% increase in the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (RR=1.053, 95%CI: 1.001-1.108). Subgroup analysis showed that, for PM10, the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events among women increased by 1.3% at lag day 0 (RR=1.013, 95%CI: 1.001-1.024), 1.3% at lag day 3 (RR=1.013, 95%CI: 1.002-1.024), and 1.7% over the cumulative lag period of 0-3 days (RR=1.017, 95%CI: 1.002-1.032). For NO2, the risk among women increased by 7.2% at lag day 1 (RR=1.072, 95%CI: 1.004-1.144), 7.5% at lag day 2 (RR=1.075, 95%CI: 1.009-1.145), 10.0% over the cumulative lag period of 0-2 days (RR=1.100, 95%CI: 1.014-1.194), and 9.6% over the cumulative lag period of 0-3 days (RR=1.096, 95%CI: 1.005-1.195). Among people aged <65 years, the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events increased by 7.0% at lag day 1 (RR=1.070, 95%CI: 1.004-1.140), 8.5% over the cumulative lag period of 0-1 day (RR=1.085, 95%CI: 1.007-1.169), and 9.6% over the cumulative lag period of 0-2 days (RR=1.096, 95%CI: 1.012-1.186). Conclusions PM10 and NO2 concentrations in Changji City were positively associated with the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, with lag effects observed. Women and people aged <65 years were more susceptible to the effects of these air pollutants.
