Exposure to Air Pollution Increases Frailty Risk

The evidence for long term exposure to forms of air pollution to increase the risk of age-related disease and mortality is quite compelling, including large studies in very similar populations with different levels of exposure. The important underlying mechanism is likely increased chronic inflammation deriving from the interactions of respiratory system tissues with particles and chemicals characteristic of industrial air pollution. Unresolved, constant inflammation drives dysfunction in the aging body and brain, contributing to the onset and progression of all of the common age-related conditions.
