Influence of socioeconomic conditions on air pollution adverse health effects in elderly people: an analysis of six regions in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Abstract: Study objective: To evaluate if the effects of particulate matter (PM 10 ) on respiratory mortality of elderly people are affected by socioeconomic status. Design: Time series studies. The daily number of elderly respiratory deaths were modelled in generalised linear Poisson regression models controlling for long term trend, weather, and day of the week, from January 1997 to December 1999, in six different regions of São Paulo City, Brazil. The regions were defined according to the proximity of air pollution m… Show more

“…With regard to the elderly, the largest relative risk of death due to respiratory diseases was found by Martins et al 41 . Increments of 10µg/ m 3 of daily levels of PM 10 are associated with a 5.4% increase (RR = 1.054, 95%CI: 1.023-1.086) in mortality due to respiratory diseases in the elderly (Figure 1b).…”

“…La presencia de síntomas respiratorios también se encontró asociada a otros factores descritos en la literatura científica, como factores de riesgo para la presencia de enfermedad respiratoria en la población adulta mayor, como son la edad, el sexo (29,30), el consumo de cigarrillo (31,32), la humedad en la vivienda (33)(34)(35)(36), la condición socioeconómica (37)(38)(39)(40), la afiliación a la seguridad social, la presencia de enfermedades concomitantes y otras fuentes de contaminación atmosférica como la ocupacional (41,42) y la cercanía a cultivos de caña de azúcar, que son quemados para su cosecha (43).…”
