A large portion of these are attributable cardiovascular causes, with evidence indicating that pollution may also play an important role in the genesis key cardiometabolic risk factors. Air is not experienced isolation but part complex system, influenced by host other external environmental exposures, and interacting intrinsic biologic factors susceptibility ultimately determine metabolic outcomes.

Background: Neighborhoods are critical to understanding how environments influence health outcomes. Prolonged environmental stressors, such as a lack of green spaces and neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, have been associated with higher allostatic load levels. Since levels experienced earlier in life stronger associations mortality risk, neighborhoods may be uniquely suited monitor mitigate the impacts stressors. Researchers often study by utilizing administrative boundaries within publicly accessible databases proxies for neighborhoods.
