How Air Quality Gets Under the Skin to Impact Mental Health amid Large-Scale Disasters: Insights from a Population-Based Cohort Study in Hong Kong
Subject Area: Clinical Science
We found that poorer air quality disrupted regular daily activities, which, in turn, were associated with higher subsequent anxiety and depressive symptoms among a population-representative sample (n=1333), controlling for demographic and environmental covariates. The findings underscore important implications for climate change-related mental health policy and interventions.
