Mounting evidence supports that fine particulate matter adversely impacts cardio-metabolic diseases particularly in susceptible individuals; however, health effects induced by the extreme concentrations within megacities in Asia is not well described. We enrolled 65 nonsmoking adults with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in the Beijing metropolitan area into a panel study of four repeated visits across four seasons since 2012. Daily ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and personal black carbon (BC) levels ranged from 9.0 to 552.5 μg/m3 and 0.2 to 24.5 μg/m3, respectively, with extreme levels observed during January 2013. Cumulative PM2.5 exposure windows across the prior 1-7 days were significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (BP) elevations ranging from 2.0 (95% confidence interval 0.3-3.7) to 2.7 (0.6-4.8) mmHg per standard deviation increase [67.2 μg/m3]), while cumulative BC exposure during the previous 2-5 days were significantly associated with ranges in elevations in diastolic BP from 1.3 (0.0-2.5) to 1.7 (0.3-3.2) mmHg per standard deviation increase [3.6 μg/m3]). Both BC and PM2.5 were significantly associated with worsening insulin resistance (0.18 (0.01-0.36) and 0.22 (0.04-0.39) unit increase per standard deviation increase of personal-level BC, and 0.18 (0.02-0.34) and 0.22 (0.08-0.36) unit increase per standard deviation increase of ambient PM2.5 on lag days 4 and 5). These results provide important global public health warnings that air pollution may pose a risk to cardio-metabolic health even at the extremely high concentrations faced by billions of people in the developing world today.
