Air Pollution Linked to Higher Stroke Mortality
More evidence showing that living in areas with high levels of air pollution is linked to a higher stroke risk has come from two new studies.
Both studies are published online in the journal Stroke. The first, from the United Kingdom, shows a higher risk for death after a stroke in patients who live in areas of high air pollution, and the other, a Japanese study, suggests a higher risk for a new stroke the same day as exposure to high levels of air pollution.
“Our study suggests that people who have previously had an ischemic stroke, but not a hemorrhagic stroke, may be more vulnerable and at a higher risk of death to chronic, long-term exposure of PM,” they conclude.
