Precipitation Moving Averages | Difference in FeNO (95% CI) | Difference in FEV1 (ml) (95% CI) | Difference in FVC (ml) (95% CI) |
---|---|---|---|
1 d | 0.1% (−1.1 to 1.4) | 1.7 (−4.7 to 8.0) | 0.7 (−6.0 to 7.4) |
2 d | 1.5% (−0.2 to 3.2) | 3.0 (−5.8 to 11.8) | 2.9 (−6.4 to 12.3) |
3 d | 2.1% (0.2 to 4.0)* | 3.6 (−6.5 to 13.6) | 2.3 (−8.3 to 12.9) |
7 d | 4.0% (1.1 to 6.9)* | 0.5 (−14.4 to 15.4) | 0.5 (−15.2 to 16.3) |
Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; FeNO = fractional exhaled nitric oxide; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC = forced vital capacity.
Linear regression models are adjusted for maternal education and household income at enrollment; any smoking in the home in early adolescence; child sex, race/ethnicity, and ever asthma diagnosis; age, height, weight, date, and season (as sine and cosine functions of visit date) at the early adolescent visit; and moving averages for mean daily temperature (same time window as exposure).
