Associations between air pollution and multimorbidity in the UK Biobank: A cross-sectional study

Background: Long-term exposure to air pollution concentrations is known to be adversely associated with a broad range of single non-communicable diseases, but its role in multimorbidity has not been investigated in the UK. We aimed to assess associations between long-term air pollution exposure and multimorbidity status, severity, and patterns using the UK Biobank cohort. Methods:… Continue reading Associations between air pollution and multimorbidity in the UK Biobank: A cross-sectional study
