Effects of air pollutants exposure on frailty risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“Meta-analysis indicated that PM_2.5 exposure was significantly associated with frailty assessed by the frailty index… Moreover, solid fuel exposures were significantly associated with an increased risk of frailty assessed by the frailty phenotype … or the frailty index … Exposure to PM_2.5 and solid fuel increases the risk of frailty. Environmental protection policies and public health measures should be developed to reduce PM_2.5 concentrations. Effective measures, such as improving stoves and using clean fuels, should be taken to reduce indoor air pollution levels.”

In short, keep your indoor air clean if you want to live long and prosper.
