Presented data are adjusted CWV estimates (95% CI) per 5 ppb increase for NO2 from a linear mixed model with centre modelled as a random intercept. Model 1, unadjusted. Model 2, adjusted for age, (sex), and ethnicity. Model 3 further adjusted for the INTERHEART risk score, education and workplace location. Primary model 4 further adjusted for walkability categories, material factor score and social factor score.
