“…Additionally, the association between solid fuel and depressive symptoms for ten years depended on the WHO Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE) ( 80 ). A meta-analysis suggested that a 24% higher risk of depression was related to solid fuel use, while the OR of solid fuel use for depression was 1.08, according to our findings ( 81 ). Compared with another study based on the LASI study, we excluded those younger than 60 and involved indicators of poor housing quality as covariants to accurately evaluate the relationship between solid fuel use and cognitive impairment among older adults ( 82 ).…”

“…Although evidence from a 10-year study suggested a link between solid fuel use and depression, solid fuel use was also related to depression in our research, indicating that solid fuel's effect still existed. Therefore, more government measures to improve indoor pollution are needed (59,80). Older adults should use clean fuel at home for cooking, which is beneficial for their mental health and cognition.…”

BackgroundPrevious studies have suggested that air pollution affects physiological and psychological health. Using solid fuel at home is a significant source of indoor air pollution. The associations between solid fuel use and depressive symptoms and cognitive health were unclear among older adults from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).MethodsTo evaluate the association of solid fuel use with depressive symptoms and cognitive health among older adults, we obtained data from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) and excluded subjects younger than 60 years and without critical data (solid fuel use, depressive symptoms, and cognitive health). The 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10) was used to assess depressive symptoms, with more than ten indicative of depression. Cognitive health was assessed using measures from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), and subjects with the lowest 10th percentile were considered to have cognitive impairment. The participants' responses defined solid fuel use. Multivariable logistic regression, linear regression, subgroup analysis, and interaction tests were performed to appraise the relationship between solid fuel use and depression and cognitive impairment.ResultsA total of 29,789 participants over 60 years old were involved in this study. Almost half of the participants (47.5%) reported using solid fuel for home cooking. Compared with clean fuel use, solid fuel use was related to an increased prevalence of depression [odds ratio (OR) 1.09, 95% CI 1.03–1.16] and higher CES-D-10 scores (β 0.23, 95% CI 0.12–0.35) after fully adjusted covariables. Using solid fuel was also related to a higher risk of cognitive impairment (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.11–1.32) and a lower cognitive score (β −0.63, 95% CI −0.79 to −0.47) compared with those who used clean fuel. In the subgroup analysis, the prevalence of depression increased in females and non-smokers. The association of solid fuel use with depression and cognitive impairment exists in subgroups of BMI, economic status, caste, living area, education, and drinking.ConclusionsThe use of solid fuel at home was associated with an increased prevalence of depression and cognitive impairment among older adults in India.

“…Our findings on the stronger association in men, participants with low and middle education (compared to those with high education), lower income, living in highly deprived areas, and participants not married nor in a civil relationship have been reported in other studies (Kim et al 2020;Pun et al 2017). While several biological mechanisms, including hormone-related ones have been suggested to explain differences between men and women in regards to air pollution health effects (Costa et al 2014;Giordano et al 2013;Thilakaratne et al 2020), they are still not conclusive as some suggest greater effects in men and other in women (Kim et al 2020;Pun et al 2017;Li et al 2022;Szyszkowicz 2007). Few other studies also reported no gender difference (Wei et al 2020).…”

“…For example, the World Health Survey (WHS) linked HAP caused by the use of solid fuels to angina pectoris and increased the incidence of eye soreness and headaches in a Guatemalan population 26,27 . In addition, previous studies have also found that neuroinflammation and related oxidative stress caused by the inhalation of these pollutants also have an impact on people's mental health, such as depression 41,42 . More intuitive research also further proves the correlation between HAP and depression.…”

Household air pollution (HAP) is suggested to increases people's risk of disability, but mediating mechanisms between HAP and disability remains under-investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms between household air pollution and disability in middle-aged and older adults (i.e., older than 45 years) using a nationally representative prospective cohort. In total, 3754 middle-aged and older adults were selected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were employed to estimate the association between HAP, pain, depression and disability. Finally, three significant mediation pathways through which HAP directly impacts disability were found: (1) pain (B = 0.09, 95% CI 0.01, 0.02), accounting for 15.25% of the total effect; (2) depression (B = 0.07, 95% CI 0.004, 0.02), accounting for 11.86% of the total effect; (3) pain and depression (B = 0.04, 95% CI 0.003, 0.01), accounting for 6.78% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 33.89%. This study clarified that HAP can indirectly affect disability through the respective and serial mediating roles of pain and depression. These findings potentially have important implications for national strategies concerning the widespread use of clean fuels by citizens.
