Global, regional, and national burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus attributable to particulate matter pollution from 1990 to 2021: An analysis of the global burden of disease study 2021

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Secondary analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

Authors' conclusion

Our results show that air pollution significantly affects global T2DM rates, necessitating policies to lower PM2.5 and boost health system resilience. Ongoing monitoring and research are key to crafting strategies against pollution's health effects.
