Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to evaluate the effects of PM2.5 exposure on autonomic nervous system, we used the data of Allostatic State Mapping by Ambulatory ECG Repository (ALLSTAR)study which includes the data of heart rate variability(HRV) obtained by Holter ECG in the several prefectures, and combined with PM2.5 concentration. HRV reflects the balance of autonomic nervous system.
In the statistical analysis, we found that higher PM2.5 concentration was associated with lower HRV indices, which could increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and sudden deaths. The association persisted for a few days. This study elucidated the mechanism by which exposure to ambient particulate air pollution trigger cardiovascular disease through autonomic nervous system by epidemiological approaches.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

大気汚染物質曝露が呼吸器疾患だけでなく、循環器疾患や心臓突然死を増やす可能性があることが、国内の疫学研究でも報告されるようになってきた。一方で、そのメカニズムの詳細は十分わかっていない。本研究では、全国数万規模の心電図情報を用いた統計解析で、そのメカニズムの一つを明らかにした。この知見は、大気汚染による健康影響低減のための対策に資することとなる。
また、本研究を通じて心電図情報が整備されており、医工学の連携も図られた。
