ABSTRACT
The association of short-term ambient air pollution exposure with osteoarthritis (OA) outpatient visits has been unclear and no study has assessed the modifying roles of district-level characteristics in the association between ambient air pollution exposure and OA outpatient visits. We investigated the cumulative associations of ambient air pollution exposure with daily OA outpatient visits and vulnerable factors influencing the associations using data from 16 districts of Beijing, China during 2013-2019. A total of 18,351,795 OA outpatient visits were included in the analyses. An increase of 10 µg/m3 in fine particulate matter (PM2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), maximum 8-hour moving-average ozone (8 h-O3), and 0.1 mg/m3 in carbon monoxide (CO) at representative lag days were associated with significant increases of 0.31 %, 0.06 %, 0.77 %, 0.87 %, 0.30 %, and 0.48 % in daily OA outpatient visits, respectively. Considerable OA outpatient visits were attributable to short-term ambient air pollution exposure. In addition, low temperature and high humidity aggravated ambient air pollution associated OA outpatient visits. District-level characteristics, such as population density, green coverage rate, and urbanization rate modified the risk of OA outpatient visits associated with air pollution exposure. These findings highlight the significance of controlling ambient air pollution during the urbanization process, which is useful in policy formation and implementation.
