Abstract excerpt
Long-term PM2.5 exposure is implicated in cardiometabolic disorders, but its interactions with genetic susceptibility and the underlying epigenetic mechanisms remain unclear. We sought to examine the joint associations of long-term PM2.5 exposure and genetic susceptibility with prevalent metabolic syndrome (MetS) and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among individuals with MetS. Among 324,887 UK...
