Notes: (1) Intercepts are not shown because they need to be corrected based on group population, but those numbers are not available, and therefore are not interpretable. (2) Models were run separately for each of the two reference groups but are combined into one table for ease of interpretation. (3) RR (relative risk) and its LCI (lower confidence interval) and UCI (upper confidence interval) are reported for the variables of interest. For the slopes, LCI and UCI are the upper and lower 95% Wald confidence bounds for the RR of specified subgroups at .02 ppm of NO2 exceedance.
