Description

Highlights: • Air pollution had adverse effects on blood lipids (TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C). • Effects of PM became stronger when controlling for gaseous pollutants. • The elderly were more vulnerable to effects of air pollution on lipids than youth. • Overweight/obese people were also more vulnerable to air pollution than normal. Few studies have explored the associations between ambient air pollution and blood lipid levels. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap based on a routine health examination cohort in Shijiazhuang, China.
