TL;DR: It is suggested that higher ambient pollutant concentrations are associated with lower cardiac autonomic control, especially among persons with existing CVD, and highlight a putative mechanism through which air pollution is associated with CVD.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of large-scale kriging estimations of daily residential-level ambient particulate matter (PM) concentrations, perform and compare cross-validations of different Kriging models, and calculate SE of the estimations.

TL;DR: AMD is associated with older age, female gender, being white, and having a history of MI, hypertension, and diabetes, and these findings suggest the possibility of shared common antecedents between MI and AMD.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the hemostasis/inmflammation markers analyzed are associated adversely with environmentally relevant ambient pollutants, with the strongest associations in the upper range of the pollutant distributions, and in persons with a positive history of diabetes and CHD.

TL;DR: The data support the need to target metabolic syndrome, especially MetS, with these 2 highest risk components (elevated blood pressure or elevated fasting glucose) in the clusters.
