Highlights: • Exploring the association between PM{sub 2.5} and cardiovascular mortality in China. • Suggesting that people 65–74 years old and males might be more vulnerable to PM{sub 2.5}. • Showing the difference of PM{sub 2.5} acute effect between developed countries and China. Many multi-center epidemiological studies have robustly examined the acute health effects of exposure to low concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM{sub 2.5}) on cardiovascular mortality in developed counties. However, data limitations have resulted in few related studies being conducted in developing counties with high levels of PM{sub 2.5} exposure. In recent years, people in China with a heavy cardiovascular disease burden have been exposed to particularly high levels of PM{sub 2.5}.
