4.WASHINGTON,Nov.25 (Xinhua)--Air pollution is a major risk factor for heart disease,and women with diabetes (糖尿病) may be more likely to be influenced by its effects than others,a long-term U.S.study said Wednesday.The study,published in the Journal of the American Heart Association,found that women with diabetes who are exposed (暴露) to air pollution for long periods may have a much higher risk for heart disease.
"We didn't expect diabetes to be the strongest factor in determining susceptibility (敏感性),"said the lead author Jaime Hart,an epidemiologist at the Boston-based Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health.
"We looked at age,family history of heart disease,weight,smoking status and areas of the country but diabetes was the most consistent across diseases and across different size fractions of particulate matter (PM),"Hart said.
The research team explored data from more than 100,000participants in a long-term study called the Nurses'Health Study,looking at rates of heart disease,specifically rates of stroke.
They assessed long-term exposure to three different sizes of particulate matter air pollution from 1989to 2006:Fine particulate pollutant smaller than 2.5thousandths of a millimeter in diameter (PM2.5),PM10and PM2.5-10.PM10includes both PM2.5and PM2.5-10.
While all women had small increases in risk of heart events with more air pollution exposure,the increased risk was statistically significant for women with diabetes.
According to the team,an increase of 10micrograms per cubic meter of air pollution in PM2.5,PM2.5-10and PM 10will raise a woman's risk of heart disease by 44percent,17percent and 19percent,separately,if she had type 2diabetes.
The team found that these effects were greater among women 70and older and obese women.
Since the study participants were mostly white women of middle-and upper-socioeconomic status,further research will be needed to determine if these patterns are also seen in men and in racially and socioeconomically diverse populations,they added.
61.According to the study,women with diabetes may be more likely to be affected byB.
A.a risk factor B.air pollution C.heart disease D.areas
62.Which of the following was not involved in the study?C
A.Age.B.Weight.C.Height.D.Smoking status.

A.It is not necessary to do further research on men.
B.Air pollution puts women with diabetes at higher heart risk.
C.Most participants were women who were over 70years old.
D.The increase of PM per cubic meter has no effect on women's health.
