Abstract

Abstract Previous studies have indicated increased dementia risk associated with fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) exposure; however, the findings are inconsistent. In this systematic review, we assessed the association between long-term PM 2.5 exposure and dementia outcomes using the Burden of Proof meta-analytic framework, which relaxes log-linear assumptions to better characterize relative risk functions and quantify unexplained between-study heterogeneity (PROSPERO, ID CRD42023421869). Here we report a meta-analysis of 28 longitudinal cohort studies published up to June 2023 that investigated long-term PM 2.5 exposure and dementia outcomes. We derived risk–outcome scores (ROSs), highly conservative…
