Associations between air pollution and cardio-respiratory physiological measures in older adults exercising outdoors

Abstract: We examined whether exercising indoors vs. outdoors reduced the cardiorespiratory effects of outdoor air pollution. Adults ≥55 were randomly assigned to exercise indoors when the Air Quality Health Index was ≥5 and outdoors on other days (intervention group, n = 37), or outdoors everyday (control group, n = 35). Both groups completed cardiorespiratory measurements before and after exercise for up to 10 weeks. Data were analyzed using linear mixed effect regression models. In the control group, an interquartile… Show more

“…The AQHI was also associated with sub-clinical adverse cardiorespiratory effects in those over 55 years of age [62,63]. Another study also found associations between air pollution and daily cardiovascular measures and markers of oxidative stress in adults aged 55-81 [64]. No age differences were observed for associations between coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity and black carbon exposure [57].…”

“…Generally, air pollution had a deleterious impact on health but effects were somewhat specific to pollutants and outcomes. total cardiovascular morbidity [66], coronary heart disease [57], congestive heart failure [59], hypertension [65], and other subclinical cardiovascular measures [62][63][64]. Taken together, these sources indicate a relationship between air pollution and older adult cardiovascular health, but findings across older age groups were not always consistent and depended on the pollutant and condition of interest.…”

“…In older adults exercising outdoors in rural and urban settings, the AQHI has been demonstrated to be predictive of acute subclinical adverse cardiorespiratory effects (e.g. decrease in HR variability, increased oxidative stress, decrease in FEV 1 ) 51–53…”
