Association between exposure to air pollution and late-life neurodegenerative disorders: An umbrella review
Summary: There is growing concern regarding air pollution as a modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. We conducted an umbrella review to collate the available evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating the associ...

Summary: There is growing concern regarding air pollution as a modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.

A narrative overview and visual summary of the findings from both quantitative and qualitative reviews are presented. A range of air pollutants were assessed in the included meta-analyses; however, only exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2·5) was significantly associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.
