	    Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is associated with cardiometabolic disease; however, its role in subclinical stages of disease development is unclear. Thus, we aimed to explore this association in a cross-sectional analysis, with cardiometabolic phenotypes derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Phenotypes of the left (LV) and right cardiac ventricle, whole-body adipose tissue (AT), and organ-specific AT were obtained by MRI in 400 participants of the KORA cohort. Land-use regression models were used to estimate residential long-term exposures to TRAP, e.g., nitrogen dioxides (NO2) or particle number concentration (PNC). Associations between TRAP and MRI phenotypes were modeled using linear regression. Participants' mean age was 56 ± 9 years, and 42% were female. Long-term exposure to TRAP was associated with decreased LV wall thickness; a 6.0 μg/m3 increase in NO2 was associated with a -1.9% [95% confidence interval: -3.7%; -0.1%] decrease in mean global LV wall thickness. Furthermore, we found associations between TRAP and increased cardiac AT. A 2,242 n/cm3 increase in PNC was associated with a 4.3% [-1.7%; 10.4%] increase in mean total cardiac AT. Associations were more pronounced in women and in participants with diabetes. Our exploratory study indicates that long-term exposure to TRAP is associated with subclinical cardiometabolic disease states, particularly in metabolically vulnerable subgroups.
