BackgroundExposure to air pollution has been consistently linked with dementia in observational studies and basic research. Both dementia and air pollution are truly global problems affecting high-and low-to-middle-income countries alike. However, in the context of life course epidemiology, it is unclear whether risk is accumulated through long-term exposure or whether there are sensitive/critical periods. One major barrier to clarifying this is the dearth of historical air pollution data.MethodsUsing the EMEP4UK chemical transport model [1] we modelled historical particulate matter (PM 2.5) for the years 1935, 1950, 1970, 1980, and 1990 and combined these with contemporary modelled data from 2000 onwards to estimate life course exposure in 467 participants in the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 [2] who have provided lifetime residential history [3]. Linear regression models using two outcomes (cognitive change from [1] age 11 to age 70 years and [2] age 70 to 76 years) and dementia occurrence were constructed adjusting for the rich lifestyle, medical, and socioeconomic data collected in the LBC1936. Thus, we were able to explore when exposure to air pollution was most important in relation to brain health.ResultsConcentrations of PM 2.5 in Scotland are estimated to have peaked at approximately 110ug/m 3 in 1935, roughly ten times the maximum concentration seen in contemporary results. Preliminary models suggest that early life air pollution is particularly important in cognitive ageing: PM 2.5 concentrations in 1935 and 1950 were associated with cognitive change from 11-70 years (P< 0.01) but levels in later years were not; PM 2.5 concentrations in 1980 were associated with cognitive change from 70-76 years (P= 0.013) but levels in other years were not. Final results will be available for presentation at AAIC2018.Conclusions
