Particulate matter, especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5), has been associated with an increased risk of obesity.

Air pollution can contribute to obesity through various mechanisms, including inflammation, endocrine disruption, and reduced oxygen intake.

Children, elderly individuals, and pregnant women are more susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution and obesity, and the combination of these factors can pose significant health risks.

Pollutobesity is a term coined to specifically refer to the increased risk of obesity associated with exposure to air pollution.

Air pollution can disrupt the endocrine system, particularly the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and weight control.

Both indoor and outdoor air pollution have been linked to an increased risk of obesity, with outdoor air pollution being a more significant contributor in urban areas.

Black carbon, a component of particulate matter, has been associated with an increased risk of childhood obesity, particularly in urban environments.

In animal models, air pollution has been shown to cause metabolic disruptions, including alterations in lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis, leading to weight gain and obesity.

Exposure to particulate matter during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of obesity in both the mother and the offspring.

Environmental obesogenesis refers to the process by which environmental factors, including air pollution, can contribute to the development of obesity.

Exposure to particulate matter, especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5), has been associated with an increased risk of obesity in adults.

In humans, air pollution has been shown to cause metabolic disruptions, including alterations in lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis, leading to weight gain and obesity.

Exposure to particulate matter, especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5), has been associated with an increased risk of obesity in animal models.

Environmental obesogenesis refers to the process by which environmental factors, including air pollution, can contribute to the development of obesity.

Exposure to particulate matter, especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5), has been associated with an increased risk of obesity in adults.
