Studies Link Air Pollution Exposure to Increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk
Recent studies link long-term exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) with an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, ranging from 10 to 20 percent higher. Pollution contributes to systemic inflammation affecting insulin regulation and raises cardiovascular risks, especially in diabetic patients. Research covering multiple regions highlights that even areas with relatively cleaner air show elevated diabetes risk with pollution. In India, where diabetes prevalence is high, experts emphasize the need for clean-air initiatives as part of diabetes prevention strategies.
