Abstract

The associations between long-term exposure to air pollution and all-cause mortality, stroke, and dementia in the Health in Men cohort of older men in Perth were investigated. Land use regression models were developed to estimate residential exposures from 1996 to 2012. Excess risks of all-cause mortality were seen for baseline exposure to air pollution, however past year exposure to PM_2.5 was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and fatal stroke. No associations between air pollutants and non-fatal stroke. Baseline exposure was not associated with dementia, but average exposure to PM_2.5 was associated with a reduced risk of dementia.
