dc.description.abstractAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, causing around 17.9 million deaths annually, a third of whom are adults aged <70 years. In addition to genetic and behavioural risk factors (unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and tobacco and alcohol abuse), inhaling airborne pollutants, such as fine particulate matter (<2.5 µm [PM2.5] and <10 µm [PM10]), ultrafine particles (UFPs; <100 nm), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), and sulphur dioxide (SO2), are associated with ASCVD among adults.en_GB
