Abstract:

Background

Exposure to indoor air particles pollution increases the incidence and mortality of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, especially in the elderly population.

Objective

To explore the effect of indoor air particles on cardiopulmonary-related physiological indexes of the elderly and short-term use of air purifiers on the improvement of cardiopulmonary health of the elderly.

Methods

A randomized, double-blind, crossover trial was conducted in January 2020 on 24 healthy older adults selected from a senior apartment in Jiangbei District of Chongqing. These included older adults equally divided into two groups alternately using real and sham air purifiers for 48 h with a 12-days washout interval by complete randomization. 14 health indexes including biomarkers of circulatory system inflammation, coagulation, oxidative stress and pulmonary function, blood pressure, heart rate, exhaled fractional nitric oxide (FeNO) were measured. Linear mixed-effect model was used to evaluate the effect of the air purifiers on health indexes.

Results

The results of the linear mixed-effect model showed that compared with the sham purifiers, fibrinogen, MCP-1 and MPO in the blood inflammatory indicators were changed by -15.1%〔95%CI (-23.1%, -6.3%) , P<0.05〕, -17.7%〔95%CI (-22.9%, -12.3%) , P<0.05〕 and -17.2%〔95%CI (-23.9%, -9.8%) , P<0.05〕, PAI-1 and t-PA in the coagulation factors changed by -14.9%〔95%CI (-21.1%, -8.2%) , P<0.05〕 and -13.5%〔95%CI (-18.7%, -8.0%) , P<0.05〕, heart rate changed by -5.8%〔95%CI (-10.6%, -0.8%) , P<0.05〕in the real purifiers, respectively. For every 1 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration, fibrinogen, MCP-1, MPO, PAI-1, t-PA, D-dimer and heart rate in the elderly increased by 0.51%, 0.48%, 0.56%, 0.49%, 0.43%, 0.31% and 0.20%, respectively (P<0.05) .

Conclusion

Indoor air purifiers are associated with decreased concentrations of systemic and local inflammation and coagulation biomarkers. Reducing air particles may be a public health measure to improve circulatory and cardiopulmonary health in the elderly.

摘要:

背景

暴露于室内空气颗粒物污染会增加呼吸道和心血管疾病的发病率和死亡率,在老年人群中尤其明显。

目的

探究室内空气颗粒物对老年人心肺相关生理指标的影响及短期使用空气净化器是否改善老年人的心肺健康。

方法

2020年1月选取中国重庆市江北区老年公寓24名健康老年人为研究对象进行一项随机双盲交叉试验。采用完全随机分组方法将老年人平均分为两组,交替使用真、假空气净化器48 h,期间有12 d的洗脱期。每次净化结束后测试老年人14种循环系统的炎症、凝血和氧化应激的生物标志物及肺功能、血压、心率和呼出气一氧化氮(FeNO)等健康指标。应用线性混合效应模型评估空气净化器对健康指标的影响。

结果

线性混合效应模型结果显示,与假净化器相比,使用真净化器的老年人血液炎症因子中纤维蛋白原、单核细胞趋化蛋白1(MCP-1)、髓过氧化物酶(MPO)的改变量为-15.1%〔95%CI(-23.1%,-6.3%),P<0.05〕、-17.7%〔95%CI(-22.9%,-12.3%),P<0.05〕和-17.2%〔95%CI(-23.9%,-9.8%),P<0.05〕;凝血因子中纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂1(PAI-1)改变量为-14.9%〔95%CI(-21.1%,-8.2%),P<0.05〕,组织型纤溶酶原激活物(t-PA)改变量为-13.5%〔95%CI(-18.7%,-8.0%),P<0.05〕;心率改变量为-5.8%〔95%CI(-10.6%,-0.8%),P<0.05〕;室内细颗粒物(PM2.5)浓度每升高1 μg/m3,老年人纤维蛋白原、MCP-1、MPO、PAI-1、t-PA、D-二聚体、心率相应升高0.51%、0.48%、0.56%、0.49%、0.43%、0.31%、0.20%(P<0.05)。

结论

室内空气净化器与炎症和凝血生物标志物的浓度降低有关。减少空气颗粒物可能成为一种改善老年人循环和心肺健康的公共卫生措施。
