Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

This project will use an existing study (VITAL) to examine both cross‐sectional and longitudinal associations of traffic-related air pollution with a panel of standard lipid risk factors and novel apolipoprotein and lipoprotein subfractions, and with incident cardiovascular disease events, and explore potential mediating pathways of risk.
