Ambient Air Pollution Is Associated With HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Dysfunction in Healthy Adults

Objective— We aimed to assess whether exposure to higher levels of ambient air pollution impairs HDL (high-density lipoprotein) function and to elucidate the underlying biological mechanisms potentially involved. Approach and Results— In the Beijing AIRCHD study (Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Dysfunction in Healthy Adults), 73 healthy adults (23.3±5.4 years) were followed-up with 4 repeated study visits in 2014 to 2016. During each visit,...
