The findings come from a team at King\u2019s College London, who studied the use of mental health services by 5,024 south Londoners living with dementia, over a nine-year period.<\/p>\n<p>The study showed patients living in the most polluted areas were 33 per cent more likely to use such facilities than those living in the least polluted areas. Researchers believe cutting pollution in the capital could reduce the use of mental health services by dementia patients by as much as 13 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>The study, published in medical journal BMJ Mental Health, measured their brain function and health and social functioning at three points in time \u2013 up to 12 months after diagnosis, up to five years after diagnosis, and up to nine years after diagnosis. Those in areas with higher levels of NO2 were 27 per cent more likely to use community mental health services than those living in areas with the lowest levels, while those exposed to the highest levels of particulate matters were 33 per cent more likely to use them. Researchers said that while air pollution was not associated with cognitive function based on the scale they used, exposure to NO2 was associated with poorer health and social functioning scores, including the capacity for routine and daily living.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/news\/health\/london-air-pollution-levels-dementia-alzheimers-mental-health-services-government-king-s-college-university-b1099227.html\">Evening Standard<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-377\/\">Cutting London\u2019s air pollution could ease pressure on mental health services, say researchers<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[536,575,1108,7223],"class_list":["post-115966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-air-pollution","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-london","tag-mental-health"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115966\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
