Abstract

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the relationship between biomass fuel use and all-cause mortality in older adults. Methods This cohort study included participants aged 65 years and older from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) in 2011-2012 who were followed up until 2018. A total of 5 853 participants were included. The Weighted Cox regression model and robust inverse probability weighted Cox regression model were used to explore the association between biomass fuel use and all-cause mortality in older people. In addition, we examined the effect of switching cooking fuels on all-cause mortality during follow-up. Results Biomass fuel use increased the risk of all-cause mortality in older adults [average hazard ratio (AHR)=1.17, 95% CI: 1.08-1.28]. Older adults who switched to clean fuel had a lower risk of all-cause mortality compared with those who kept using biomass fuel (AHR=0.21, 95% CI: 0.18-0.24). Conclusions Biomass fuel use increases the risk of all-cause mortality in older adults, while switching to clean fuel could reduce the risk.
