Evidence of impact of ambient oxidant pollution on cardiometabolic responses remains limited. We aimed to examine associations of oxidant pollutants with cardiometabolic responses, and effect modification by ceramides. During 2019-2020, 152 healthy adults were visited 4 times in Beijing, China, and indicators of ceramides, glucose homeostasis, and vascular function were measured. We found significant increases in ceramides of 13.9% (p = 0.020) to 110.1% (p = 0.005) associated with an interquartile increase in oxidant pollutants at prior 1-7 days. Exposure to oxidant pollutants was also related to elevations in insulin and reductions in adiponectin, and elevations in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Further, stratified analyses revealed larger changes in oxidant pollutant related cardiometabolic responses among participants with higher ceramide levels compared to those with lower levels. Our findings suggested cardiometabolic effects associated with exposure to oxidant pollutants, which may be modified by ceramide levels.
