In a cohort of elderly men in the Boston area, we sought to determine whether: i) recent exposure to black carbon (BC), a marker of traffic particles, was associated with decreased genomic DNA methylation content estimated in LINE-1 and Alu repetitive elements; ii) decreased genomic DNA methylation was associated with cardiovascular factors, including arterial blood pressure, serum levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke, and statin use.

Abstract
In a cohort of elderly men in the Boston area, we sought to determine whether: i) recent exposure to black carbon (BC), a marker of traffic particles, was associated with decreased genomic DNA methylation content estimated in LINE-1 and Alu repetitive elements; ii) decreased genomic DNA methylation was associated with cardiovascular factors, including arterial blood pressure, serum levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke, and statin use.
