RESUMO
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a relação entre poluição atmosférica e parâmetros hematológicos em uma amostra populacional de crianças e adolescentes. MÉTODOS: Este estudo transversal foi realizado em 2009-2010 com estudantes escolhidos aleatoriamente de diversas áreas de Isfahan, a segunda maior e mais poluída cidade iraniana. A associação entre os níveis de poluentes do ar e os de hemoglobina, plaquetas, glóbulos brancos (GB) e glóbulos vermelhos (GV) foi determinada pelas análises linear múltipla e de regressão logística ajustadas para idade, sexo, medidas antropométricas, fatores meteorológicos, e hábitos alimentares e de atividade física. RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo 134 estudantes (48,5 por cento meninos), com idade média de 13,10±2,21 anos. Com níveis moderados de Pollutant Standards Index (PSI), a média de material particulado (particulate matter) < 10 µm (PM10) foi mais do que o dobro do normal. A análise de regressão linear demonstrou que o PSI e a maioria dos poluentes atmosféricos, especialmente PM10, estiveram negativamente relacionados com a contagem de hemoglobina e GV e positivamente relacionados com a contagem de GB e plaquetas. O odds ratio de uma elevação nos GB aumentou conforme os quartis de PM10, ozônio e PSI aumentavam, embora essas associações fossem significativas somente no quartil superior de PM10 e PSI. Os valores correspondentes de hemoglobina e GV seguiram a direção oposta. CONCLUSÕES: Destaca-se a associação dos poluentes atmosféricos com parâmetros hematológicos e um possível estado pró-inflamatório. A presença dessas associações com PM10 em níveis regulares de PSI enfatiza a necessidade de se reavaliar as políticas ambientais de saúde na faixa etária pediátrica.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between air pollution and hematologic parameters in a population-based sample of children and adolescents. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2009-2010 among school students randomly selected from different areas of Isfahan city, the second largest and most air-polluted city in Iran. The association of air pollutant levels with hemoglobin, platelets, red and white blood cells (RBC and WBC, respectively) was determined by multiple linear and logistic regression analyses, after adjustment for age, gender, anthropometric measures, meteorological factors, and dietary and physical activity habits. RESULTS: The study participants consisted of 134 students (48.5 percent boys) with a mean age of 13.10±2.21 years. While the mean Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) was at moderate level, the mean particulate matter < 10 µm (PM10) was more than twice the normal level. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that PSI and most air pollutants, notably PM10, had significant negative relationship with hemoglobin and RBC count, and positive significant relationship with WBC and platelet counts. The odds ratio of elevated WBC increased as the quartiles of PM10, ozone and PSI increased, however these associations reached significant level only in the highest quartile of PM10 and PSI. The corresponding figures for hemoglobin and RBC were in opposite direction. CONCLUSIONS: The association of air pollutants with hematologic parameters and a possible pro-inflammatory state is highlighted. The presence of these associations with PM10 in a moderate mean PSI level underscores the necessity to re-examine environmental health policies for the pediatric age group.
