Exposure to atmospheric compounds increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. In our study, we will show a derived exposure-response curve from the relative risk to develop type 2 diabetes because of exposure to different pollutants, i.e. particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3). The curve is used to estimate a worldwide map of relative risk and the percentage of the attributable burden for each pollutant, using high resolution dataset of atmospheric pollutants from satellite observations. Finally, we will show the validation of the model comparing the modeled percentage of the numbers of patients that are affected by type 2 diabates also because of pollutants exposure with a regional analysis of the attributable patients affected by type 2 diabetes.
