Various pollutant data, including particulate matter with diameters \u2264 2.5 mm (PM<jats:sub>2.5<\/jats:sub>), \u2264 10 mm (PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>), nitrogen dioxide (NO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), sulfur dioxide (SO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), Ozone (O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>), and carbon monoxide (CO), from all monitoring stations in Binhai New Area, Tianjin were considered in calculating the mean exposure concentration of each pollutant over 2 years. By summing each pollutant concentration weighted by the regression coefficients, we developed an air pollution score that assesses the combined exposure of these air pollutants. Due to the strong correlation between air pollutants, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) score was also developed. The association between air pollutants and incident CKD in the elderly was analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 90,032 subjects participated in this study with a median follow-up of 545 days. Among them, 22,336 (24.8%) developed CKD. The HR (95% CI) for air pollution score and incidence of CKD was 1.062 (1.060-1.063) and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt;0.001 after adjusting for all confounders. The adjusted HRs for the quartile subgroups of combined air pollution score were: Q2: 1.064 (1.013\u20131.117); Q3: 1.141 (1.088\u20131.198); and Q4: 3.623 (3.482\u20133.770), respectively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> for trend &amp;lt;0.001). The adjusted HRs for the quartile subgroups of air quality index (AQI) were: Q2: 1.035 (0.985\u20131.086); Q3: 1.145 (1.091\u20131.201); and Q4: 3.603 (3.463\u20133.748), respectively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> for trend &amp;lt;0.001). When the risk score was over 86.9, it significantly rose in a steep curve. The subgroup analysis showed that male, younger or exercise were more likely to develop CKD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Combined air pollution score, AQI, and PCA score were associated with an increased risk of CKD in an exposure-response relationship.
