Air pollution may be ageing bone marrow faster in people with diabetes, study finds
PM2.5 exposure accelerated cellular ageing, impaired stem cell function and reduced bone mineral density in diabetic mice. What does this mean for people living with diabetes in India’s polluted cities?
Why people with diabetes are more vulnerable to air pollution's cellular toll
Air pollution affects health beyond the lungs. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), tiny airborne particles that can enter the respiratory system, can trigger inflammation that affects other parts of the body. People with type 2 diabetes may be particularly vulnerable, as the disease can already impair stem cell function in the bone marrow, which produces blood cells and supports bone health.
Breathing toxic air not only causes respiratory problems, but also type 2 diabetes and serious damage to bone marrow stem cells. Learn the alarming details revealed by data from over 200 million people and scientific studies.
Breathing polluted air increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. A new study has revealed the effects of PM2.5 particles on bone marrow. Pollution and diabetes are both prevalent in India.
