Cross-sectional analysis from the WHO study of AGEing and adult health wave 1. PG - 1149-1162 LID - 10.1080/10934529.2020.1787011 [doi] AB - Over the past decades, air pollution has become one of the critical environmental health issues in China. The present study aimed to evaluate links between ambient air pollution and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). A multilevel linear and logistic regression was used to assess these associations among 7,770 participants aged >/=50 years from the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) in China in 2007-2010. The average exposure to each of pollutants (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of
