TI  - Effect of environmental air pollution on type 2 diabetes mellitus.
PG  - 123-8
LID - 8346 [pii]
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Air pollution is a novel risk factor for insulin resistance and 
      occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the evidence is limited and 
      diverse. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of 
      environmental air pollution on incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: In 
      this study, we identified 102 published studies through a systematic data base 
      search including ISI-Web of Science, EMBASE and PubMed. We searched the related 
      literature by using the key terms including diabetes mellitus, air pollution, 
      occupational and environmental pollution, gaseous, NO2, particulate matter 
      pollutants PM2.5, and PM10. Studies in which diabetes mellitus, insulin 
      resistance, air pollution, occupational and environmental pollution was discussed 
      were included in the study. No confines on publication status, study design or 
      language of publication were considered. Descriptive and quantitative information 
      were extracted from the selected literature. Finally we included 21 publications 
      and remaining studies were excluded. RESULTS: Air pollution is a leading cause of 
      insulin resistance and incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The association 
      between air pollution and diabetes is stronger for traffic associated pollutants, 
      gaseous, nitrogen dioxide, tobacco smoke and particulate matter. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Exposure to air pollutants is significantly associated with increased risk of 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is suggested that, environmental protection 
      officials must take high priority steps to minimize the air pollution, hence to 
      decrease the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
