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...
