“…Our study replicates the recent demonstration that ignoring spatial autocorrelation substantially overestimated the magnitude of socio-economic inequalities in air pollution exposure 30 Our study also demonstrates that the association between area SEP and air pollution was substantially overestimated by the inclusion of an 'air quality' indicator within the IMD scores released by the government in 2004 19 and 2007 31 . This circularity may have led to overestimation of the association between SEP and air pollution in British studies using these IMD scores 14,16 .…”

“…[33][34][35][36][37][38] However, the situation in Europe appears to be less straightforward; findings from studies across Europe have generated mixed results. [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] In the UK, Walker et al previously reported findings that are consistent with those of this study, that both 'most' and 'least' deprived areas were disproportionately affected by high NO2 concentrations. 42 A number of possible explanations for these inconclusive research findings have been offered; all relating to characteristics of urbanised areas.…”

“…There is room for improvement in assessment of traffic exposures in epidemiological research, and better approaches are now being incorporated into research projects, such as accounting for associated factors (eg, noise or spatial autocorrelation with socioeconomic status). 275,277 Geographic differences in cardiovascular risk due to PM have also been observed across US regions, with more consistent or stronger effects observed in Eastern versus Western states. 71,103,257 Differences between North American and European cities have also been reported.…”

Abstract-In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on "Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease" concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In the interim, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of this association and further elucidated the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved. The main objective of this updated American Heart Association scientific statement is to provide a comprehensive review of the new evidence linking PM exposure with cardiovascular disease, with a specific focus on highlighting the clinical implications for researchers and healthcare providers. The writing group also sought to provide expert consensus opinions on many aspects of the current state of science and updated suggestions for areas of future research. On the basis of the findings of this review, several new conclusions were reached, including the following: Exposure to PM Ͻ2.5 m in diameter (PM 2.5 ) over a few hours to weeks can trigger cardiovascular disease-related mortality and nonfatal events; longer-term exposure (eg, a few years) increases the risk for cardiovascular mortality to an even greater extent than exposures over a few days and reduces life expectancy within more highly exposed segments of the population by several months to a few years; reductions in PM levels are associated with decreases in cardiovascular mortality within a time frame as short as a few years; and many credible pathological mechanisms have been elucidated that lend biological plausibility to these findings. It is the opinion of the writing group that the overall evidence is consistent with a causal relationship between PM 2.5 exposure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This body of evidence has grown and been strengthened substantially since the first American Heart Association scientific statement was published. Finally, PM 2.5 exposure is deemed a modifiable factor that contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. (Circulation. 2010;121:2331-2378.)
