Surely many people think that diabetes and air pollution are not related. However, research by Chinese scientists has shown that air pollution increases the risk of diabetes. Let’s join Puritrak to find out the reason for that conclusion.
1. Air pollution increases the risk of diabetes
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by blood sugar levels that are consistently higher than normal. This condition results from the body’s insufficient secretion of insulin, insulin resistance, or a combination of both, leading to significant disruptions in sugar, protein, fat, and mineral metabolism.
People often attribute diabetes to a lack of exercise and an unhealthy diet. However, besides these factors, Chinese scientists from Fuwai Hospital in Beijing and Emory University have conducted research suggesting that air pollution is also a contributing factor. The study, which involved data from 88,000 individuals across 15 Chinese provinces and cities exposed to fine dust particles (PM2.5) between 2004 and 2015, concluded that air pollution increases the risk of diabetes.
The research team adjusted for various factors including age, body mass index, smoking habits, family history of diabetes, and levels of work-related physical activity. However, the study did not directly consider dietary factors or other forms of pollution.
The study revealed that the risk of diabetes increased by 16% among individuals with prolonged exposure to 10µg/m3 of fine dust.
According to the World Health Organization, this disease is increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries. A study published by the US shows that China is the country with the highest number of people with diabetes in the world, with 11% of the country’s population having the disease in 2017.
