The average annual percent change (AAPC) in age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and years of life lost (YLLs) due to PM2.5 exposure were calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program. Using Pearson\u2019s correlation, we estimated association between burden trends, urban green space area, and higher education proportions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec003\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>During the period 1990\u20131999, there were increases in mortality rates for All causes (1.6%, 95% CI: 1.5% to 1.8%), Diabetes mellitus (5.2%, 95% CI: 4.9% to 5.5%), Encephalitis (3.1%, 95% CI: 2.6% to 3.5%), Ischemic heart disease (3.3%, 95% CI: 3% to 3.6%), and Tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer (5%, 95% CI: 4.7% to 5.2%). In the period 2010\u20132019, Diabetes mellitus still showed an increase in mortality rates, but at a lower rate with an AAPC of 1.2% (95% CI: 1% to 1.4%). Tracheal bronchus and lung cancer showed a smaller increase in this period, with an AAPC of 0.5% (95% CI: 0.3% to 0.6%).
